Several years ago, I got two books, PC File Formats and More PC File Formats
that may be what you're looking for. I don't have either volume here at work,
but they may be listed in Books in Print (if they still are). I'm pretty 
sure I got both of them through a computer bookstore outside Boston named
SoftPro - 617-273-2919.

If you can't find 'em or the store can't help, email me and I'll try to 
find the books (they're still in boxes, after a move) and send ya the
publisher's info.

Does anyone out there know how to get vi to accept arrow
keys from the standard PC 101 keyboard?  After reading the
book called Teach Yourself Unix (A great manual!!!!), I figured
out how to use the backspace key to delete letters on at a time.
But the book didn't say anything about arrow keys.

I'd like to convert a number of different document formats to text
formats on unix.  I'm interested in outputs from various PC packages:
WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, WK1, NOTEPAD.

Are there any converters to RTF for these formats than run under
unix?

Are there any direct text converters for these packages that run under
unix?

Will consider public domain or comerical software.

I posted an article to the net asking for information on how to publish
a book.  I asked...

} He is currently writing it on Wordperfect 5.1.  The book is aimed at a

} PS Couldn't GN2 in the FAQ be expanded a little to cover this kind of thing?

I got two replies by E-mail, the essence of which were:-


From: "John R. Levine"

} For self-publishing the programs of choice seem to be Ventura on PCs and
} Frame on workstations.  PageMaker is OK but seems not to be all that good

Thanks for the help on this one.  It looks like we will either stick
with WordPerfect 5.1 or go for TeX/LaTeX as the publisher would rather
have camera ready copy.

I described your problem to the graphic designer I work with and
after he said, "Proof?  You mean common sense isn't enough?" he
suggested Mohawk Paper (Albany, N.Y.)  as a company with a very
consumer-oriented marketing department.  You might see if they've done any
kind of survey.  Barring such evidence and a sudden conversion on the part
of your silly corporate nits:  He suggested that, if you can find it cheap
enough, a recycled paper will have less "read-through" than a virgin paper
of equal weight.

You can't.  Not with "ptroff", since it uses old troff, which can't load more
than four fonts (normal, italic, bold, symbol).  The normal, italic and bold
can be set to a particular family.

In order to get more than four fonts, either get Chris Lewis' psroff suite
of programs, which cheats old troff into using more than four fonts.  Or,
better yet, get the James Clark groff suite of programs.  Groff is DWB 3.0
compliant.  It allows for more fonts than I could ever dream of loading.

Groff works great on a SPARCstation.  I should know, I use it on one.

I am using a SUN SPARC STATION IPX with SunOS Release 4.1.3 (GENERIC_SMALL) #).
It seems that the X-window Athena widget kit is having some problem with this 
platform. Simple try to compile the famous HelloWorld program xhw3 yield the 
following:

   _get_applicationShellWidgetClass
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `xhw3'

Actually, the executable code of xhw3 was generated and runnable. But what the 
above errors are telling us. an identical compile session running on IPC or ELC
do not have problem at all. Anyone has experience with this problem? What 
I should do about it? Any suggestion/comments will be appreciated. E-mail
to zhang@buast7.bu.edu is preferred.

Following the suggestion on this newsgroup on a similar thread, I tried to 
use -Bstatic option for the linker, it gave even more undefined symbols:-(

A quick look at th include/X11 area found that the content/directory-structure

I don't know if this is it, but did you run install_openwin or install_tt?
Check the file /etc/inetd.conf, there should be a lines like this:

# Sun ToolTalk Database Server

If not, check what things in /usr/openwin/bin/install_* you forgot and
run them.

Subject: reverse video weirdness in OL 3.0
Organization: AT&T
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 16:24:37 GMT

Last year I developed a prototype application using, I have thought,
OLIT 2.0.  Yesterday, I recompiled and ran it under what is supposed to
be OLIT 3.0.  Using this latter stuff, reverse video (i.e., swapping the
values for XtNforeground and XtNbackground in a button or a text field)
simply causes the indicated widget to become completely black.  Anyone
ever experience this and know why?

The reason I said that I appeared to be using 2.0 or 3.0 is from the
libraries.  Our 2.0 lib directory has these libraries for X, Xt, and OL,
respectively:
	libX11.sa.4.3
	libXt.sa.4.0
	libXol.so.3.0
The 3.0 libraries are:
	libX11.sa.4.3
	libXt.sa.4.1
	libXol.so.3.1

These are the SUN -distributed archives, but somehow those version numbers
don't seem very different from OL 2 to 3.  Do we have the right stuff?

A last question, if you have the patience.  Using either OL version, I
have always had strange behavior with popups.  I don't use the OL popup
widgets, but rather created my own structures using transientShellWidgets
for all popups.  In my 2.0 application, most of the popups, when they
come up a second time, can take 5 to 10 seconds to appear.  Honest!  They
don't do it the first time, and generally don't after the second.  Also,
my basic mode is to have buttons which cause popups to appear when the
buttons are clicked on; while the popup is visible , its button is made
reverse video, and is toggled back when the popup disappears.  Frequently,
over the course of random popups appearance and disappearance, buttons
will appear in reverse and straight video incorrectly - reversed when
the popup is down, straight when it is up.  My code only wants reverse
video when the popup is visible, and I'm confident after countless hours
of scanning it that it's written correctly.  Again, any thoughts?

Much thanks.

Hi, for you who are experters for OLIT:

I recently develop a project on OLIT3.0 I met a problem which occurred

I want to use the following widget instantiation hierarchy:

		/	\
	control area	scrolled win

			drawingarea
as you can see, control area is used for menus, and scrolled win for
work paper, but I do not know the correct layout and resource
should apply to scrolled win, so that if I resize the form
then scrolled win will automatically adjust it's size to fit
cover the whole remain form?
i tried many settings to scrolled win such as XtNxAttachRight, but seems
no use. can you enligh me? or you have the similar experiences?
please directly e-mail me.

If you install the XPM package you can use sxpm for this purpose and then
use "sxpm -nod -o - - | xpmtoppm" in this case.
