May I start this with an apology.  I am posting to more groups than I
would normally and my posting is likely to be inappropriate in some of
them.  If YOU feel you must flame me, please minimise bandwidth in doing
so: either email me or trim the Newsgroups header to those in which you
are interested where the posting is known to be inappropriate.

AMIPRO is a word processing product in the MS WINDOWS environment.

I have a client who wishes to store his AMIPRO documents in a UNIX
environment.  He also wishes to be able to view them as text in that
UNIX environment.

He put me onto the job.  The Unix programs: strings and sed together
allowed me to produce a simple viewer.  However, tables were not handled
acceptably.

I do not feel like deducing the file format and writing a reasonable
filter and am hoping that somebody out there will be able to point me at
a suitable product which has already been produced.
