Hi around,

(hope this doesn't come twice, network is messing around...)

I have been working quite some time about the binary formats of word 
processor documents. While that, I really felt bad about, that description 
for the newer generation programs nearly is not available. If you felt 
so, either, a visit to: 

http://wwwwbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~schwartz/pmh/

might be interesting to you. Currently these pages are just about the 
binary level structure of Ole/COM documents, but other topics will follow.

Currently there is offered:

   -  A binary level description of Ole/Com documents
      (that are documents like from the Microsoft Office family, Star 
      Writer 3.1 and more)

   -  A perl 4 package (library), that makes these documents accessible
      (the restriction to level 4 was to allow running even under dos perl)
      with some demonstration utilities:

      . Demo 1: lists the structure of ole/com documents
      . Demo 2: shows author, title... of all objects of an document
      . Demo 3: gets the ascii part out of a Word 6 document
                (I do avoid calling this level converting ;-)

If you know good information sources, I'm always glad to hear. Anyway,
reactions are welcome.

Yours,

Martin
