Hi Tim,
A modest but, perhaps unreasonable, suggestion. I tried to get hold
of wvText on the web but just kept getting shunted off to wvware
and most of the things I downloaded turned out to be some kind of
index.html file rather than a zipped tar-archive. It would have
been very nice if a URL for downloading the various programs had
been included in your posting. I think Emacspeak has some of these
facilities included for use in conjunction with VM.
I hope I'll be able to actually start using some of your utilities
soon; particularly the conversion of postscript files.
Cheers.
Kalyan
PS: I haave used pdftotext which comes with the xpdf package:
occasionally it gives garbage apparently because of the document
containing Type3 fonts. Is The pdftotext you are using
any better in this respect?
