Well, all I can say to that is what is your configuration? Without seeing your whole external_parsers attribute setting, about all I can do is guess. The most likely problem is that whatever your web server is returning as Content-Type for *.ppt files doesn't match what you've entered in your external_parsers definition. As for there being no -, + or * listed, that's normal, as these indicated what htdig is doing with hypertext links it finds in a document. It normally won't get any of these from any external converter or parser, but typically only from HTML files. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.26 To really get a handle on what htdig is doing, you'll need more verbose output. To get headers listed in the output, which you'll need to look at to figure this out, you should use at least -vvv (see http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.1) to get server responses. This will generate a lot of output, but you can bring that under control by temporarily setting start_url to just the URL(s) of one or a few .ppt files. -- Gilles R.
