I have uploaded PMStripper 1.12 and UNH 2.12 to hobbes.nmsu.edu
Archive Name: pms_112.zip
Program Description: a PM utility for stripping HTML codes
Operating System Versions: OS/2 Warp and later
location on Hobbes: pub/os2/apps/internet/www/util
This PM shareware utility strips HTML codes from Web pages, leaving only the
text and URLs (optionally). While the layout of tables and lists is lost
during stripping, data is sorted to separate lines for legibility.
PMStripper is designed to provide a quick conversion of HTML coded files into
plain ASCII text. The converted file can be edited while loaded in PMStripper,
and the edited file saved to disk or pasted to the OS/2 clipboard.
Install PMStripper as the HTML source viewer in WebX instead of the OS/2 system
editor E, and you can use the Ctrl+V keystroke combination to load the web page
source directectly into PMStripper. This will make it easier to cut and paste
information or URLs from web pages. If you are using the IBM Web Explorer, you
need this utility!
Registered users of PMStripper will have access to two additional executable
files that were compiled with the 486 and 586 compiler options. These versions
will offer some performance improvement for users with 468 , Pentium, or
equivalent CPUs.
New in PMStripper 1.12 An error in the translation of one of the international
characters was corrected in this release. This error had been present since
version 1.03.
UNH 2.12
Archive Name: UNH212.ZIP
Program Description: a command line utility to strip HTML codes
Operating System Versions: OS/2 2.x and later
location on Hobbes: pub/os2/apps/internet/www/util
UNH is a free command line utility that uses the same logic as
PMStripper to convert web pages to plain ASCII text.
