Re: specification / RFC for OLE2

[acoliver]

SMTP requires you escape \r\n.\r\n (the . is doubled).  There is nothing 
preventing them from appearing in the document.  That being said the 
document would have to be mime encoded anyhow so even if they WERE in 
the document they would be there as UUENCODED bytes and thus not be 
recognized as such.

Does anyone have any infomation on where I could find the details or 
specification for Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format.

In particular I need to find out if a certain sequence of characters 
could apear in a document.

I have an application that reads files over a socket and uses similar 
communication to SMTP. That is I signify the end of the data with a 
\r\n.\r\n    (thats carriage return, newline, period, cariage return, 
newline).

I know that this string could very easily be found in a normal text 
file, however I wanted to make sure that I would not be discovered in a 
Microsoft Excel / Word document.

any help would be apreciated. If I am posting to the wrong group I 
apologize,  but in my searches this seems the only place to have any 
infomation on the subject.

Thanks,
Joe
