This assumes Word is available. Given the original problem statement
was to extract the text from a DOC format file, and since Word itself
can save in ASCII text format, I assumed that Word was not available.
If it were, all you'd have to do is send it a polite DDE message asking
it to save the file you wanted as text. My assumption was that the
original request's real question was concerning writing an I/O library
to read and write the DOC file format.
