Have you tried "ps2ascii" (comes with ghostscript)?

PS2ASCII(1)             Ghostscript Tools             PS2ASCII(1)

NAME
       ps2ascii  -  Ghostscript translator from PostScript or PDF
       to ASCII

SYNOPSIS
       ps2ascii [ input.ps [ output.txt ] ]
       ps2ascii input.pdf [ output.txt ]

DESCRIPTION
       ps2ascii  uses  gs(1)   to   extract   ASCII   text   from
       PostScript(tm)  or  Adobe  Portable  Document Format (PDF)
       files. If no files are specified on the command  line,  gs
       reads from standard input; but PDF input must come from an
       explicitly-named file, not standard input.  If  no  output
       file  is  specified, the ASCII text is written to standard
       output.

Subject: permission confusion

Permissions always throw me a curve. I thought
if I mounted a drive ( ls120 n this case ) 
with the user option eg; fstab entry

/dev/hdd    /mnt/ls120    auto    noauto,user,rw  0 0

then I would own the drive and have rw access.
Not so, the drive is still owned by root with 777 permissions.

Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks, but my problem is slightly different:

I have one mailbox. In this mailbox are mails to different e-mail 
addresses. (They came in e.g. through forwarding from another mailbox.) The 
different mails must be delivered to the appropriate local mailbox:

Example:

ISP mailbox -> must be delivered to local mailbox
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> thorn@localhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> john@localhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> susanne@localhost

The only common thing between the mails in my ISP's mailbox and my local 
onces is the name before the @ sign.

I would like to use sendmail's (postfix) multidrop feature. This is my 
entry:

*****
user [EMAIL PROTECTED] there with password mysecret is * here
        options fetchall stripcr
        mda '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -f %F %T'
*****

The only problem is that fetchmail inserts the whole e-mail address 
(including domain) to %T in the mda line.

How can I tell fetchmail just to insert the user name (= name before the @ 
sign) into %T, so that sendmail will be able to deliver it to the 
appropriate user?

Any ideas??

Thanks a lot!!

Subject: Weird problem - Eterm and rxvt use one minute to start up, xterm does not
Date: Sat, 26 May 2001 12:57:07 +0200

Hello.

I'm having a weird problem. When I try to start an Eterm or an rxvt (without
any special options) on my Linux box, weird things happen. It takes about a
minute to start them up! xterm does not have this problem, so I am sticking
to it for the moment. Just for fun I made a script called tst which only
contains the "exit" command, and ran it like this:

time Eterm -e ./tst

I ran it a few times (in the spirit of accurate benchmarking ;D), and every
time it came out pretty close to this:

real    1m0.360s
user    0m0.150s
sys    0m0.030s

In addition, I keep top running in the background to see what goes on - CPU
useage is low (99%++ idle constantly), and I have around 40MB of free RAM
when doing this.

Now, seeing that this is a dual PIII-550MHz box, you'd think opening up a
shell window wouldn't be so tough. It works great for everything else. And
it being so close to one minute (just above) every time I run the test, I am
wondering if it keeps waiting for some event that happens exactly one minute
after running - it is quite suspicious.

I ran the same test with xterm, btw., and it took less than a tenth of a
second to open. I also tried with rxvt, but it didn't feel like executing
the exit command properly, so I had to close the window manually. Needless
to say, this window shared the behaviour of appearing exactly one minute
after I issued the command.

So, anyone got any great ideas? I am running kernel 2.4.4 on a debian woody
system - and this system is just for playing about on, nothing serious going
on there, but it would be nice to have it working. So if you know something
that I don't (everyone does, but I mean about this), then please let me
know. :)

Thanks and best regards,

First of all be sure to use ghostscript 7.0. I was using the old 5.x
an I find 7.0 much improved.

There should be a ps2ascii utility included with ghostscript.

The utility fixps (probably from the psutils) might help.
I once had luck with file and dd in extracting a postscript readable
by 5.x from a newer postscript file generated some Adobe Program. The
good old file told me something like 'x bytes of garbage at the
beginning, Postscript file from byte x+1 to y, TIFF image from byte
y+1 to z', and with dd I extracted the x+1-to-y part only.

Subject: strange partition problem
Date: Sat, 26 May 2001 13:42:48 +0200

Hi,

Though I was searching the web for solutions
I couldnt fix the following problem
and I hope someone can help me:

Win98 SE and RedHat 7.0 on a 20 GB HDD:

partition table as follows:

/dev/hda1 |  *  | 1         | 255   | 2048256    |  b    | Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 |    | 256     | 258   | 24097+      |  83  | Linux
/dev/hda3 |     | 259     | 2432 | 17462655  |  5    | Erweiterte
/dev/hda5 |    | 259     | 1023 | 6144831    |  83  | Linux
/dev/hda6 |     | 1024   | 1040 | 136521      |  82  | Linux(Swap)
/dev/hda7 |     | 1041   | 2432 | 11181208+|  b    | Win95FAT32

until now everything was fine, except sometimes the
extended  fat32 got messed up and D: wasn't displayed anymore
in win98.
I could fix the problem easy with linux fdisk and
everything worked fine again.

But last time, after I did some work with emacs and
created some files,
D: is still displayed in win98 explorer,
but I cant get access to the drive.
Size of drive is: 0 Byte in Explorer. (like it wouldn't be formatted)
Meanwhile I recreated the partition table (deleted it and
rewrote it....)
Didn't change anything.
The partition table should be ok but the problem still there.
Would be great if someone could help me, because I need
the data form D: and forgot to backup :(

Thanks very much
Oliver

Ah, one mailbox --> multiple localuser.

I would use procmail for something like this, poll all to one user,
setup
~/.procmailrc and redirect the mail where you want.

"apropos procmail" for all man pages, sendmail uses procmail as default
LDA on Linux, AFAIK postfix does the same.

I just did the 2.4.5 thing on two athlon thunderbirds I have with good
results overall.  I seemed to sense some memory issues with 2.4.4.  These
machines have 384 and 256mb of memory and with 2.4.4, I got the feeling that
the systems were having some problems.  I can't say how much its improved,
but 2.4.5 seems better at a subjective level.

I'm on my ISP's T1 backbone with a Win98 box ( nyah,nyah!) and I've just
recently set it up to dual boot to RH 6.2. The problem is that I'm having

( ie, my IP is 1.2.3.4 - I can ping 1.2.3.x, but nothing else). ifconfig
says the eth0 is running.
What other settings am I overlooking? Also, it hangs for awhile when

If data currently is lost, you should not write to the disk at all
until the exact nature of the problem is known.

The cause of the problem is that the type of the extended partition is
wrong. It should be 0F.

If _all_ you did was delete a partition or alter the partition table in
some way you can recover your data by simply recreating the partition with
Linux fdisk.  Messing with the partition table does not touch the data in
the partition.

A report error!!  The ls120 mount point without the drive mounted had
permissions
0777 because I su'ed to root and changed so.
When the drive was mounted it became 0755, but after leaving the 
machine alone for a few hours the permission of the mount point
is now 0777, drive mounted or not.

Rebooting has not changed this. This is possibly quite normal 
behaviour, but quite bizzare to a reasonably new linux user.

Default route by the look of it. GATEWAY= in /etc/sysconfig/network, if
you are not a DHCP client.

Yes, it cannot resolve its own address. Sendmail wants to do this unless
you tell it otherwise.

Not necessarily.  That must means you can mount it without being root.


> Not so, the drive is still owned by root with 777 permissions.

What filesystem is on the ls120?  Sounds like it might be FAT or VFAT. 
Those don't grok permissions or ownership, so the kernel fakes them when
you mount the drive.

Look at the mount man page for info on the "uid", "gid", and "umask"
options.

Also, the mtools allow you to manipulate FAT disks without mounting
them.  There are analogs of the usual DOS commands, prefixed by "m", as
in "mdir b:", "mcopy a:file file".  Very handy.  See "man mtools".

Ah, one mailbox --> multiple localuser.

I would use procmail for something like this, poll all to one user,
setup ~/.procmailrc and redirect the mail where you want.

"apropos procmail" for all man pages, sendmail uses procmail as default
LDA on Linux, AFAIK postfix does the same.
