Hi Peter,

It may be instructive that a someone last year wrote a short VB
script to turn any DOC file into XML, extracting all the style
info into a CSS stylesheet in a single pass...and it was written
on a laptop in the bus on the way to the airport after a
meeting. I'm sure it has long been superseded but this is not
rocket science.

I heard a dark rumor that said script was going to be distributed as a Word macro virus, to go off on Mr. Bill Gates's birthday, converting the world's Word files into XML in one fell swoop.


Maybe it's true. Maybe you have the virus. Except you're running Unix. A pity.

Cheers,
Wendell
