There can be no such thing, as M$ docs are not plain text. Perhaps you mean a console-based M$ Word editor? I don't know of one. However, any text editor (le, vi, emacs ... etc) can read .doc files. You simply have to remove the Word crud to and bottom and edit the text as you wish. You finish up with an edited TEXT file, though, which mght not be what you want. -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
