    I'm trying to transmit some "MS-DOS" MS Word files from my mac to 
    my Unix machine for conversions into some Unix word processing 
    documents.  The problem I am having is when I transmit the files, it
    seems to keep the Mac header information.  i.e. icon info etc...

    Is there a way I can strip the "Mac" information from this file and 
    have only the data?  Is there a good "C" program to do this?

    Many thanks in advance...

    CCI/ICL Power 6/32 (tahoe), CCI Sys V ver 3.02.00, Office Power 5.0
    with Power Conversions...hope it helps..
