- This assumes Word is available. Given the original problem statement

- can save in ASCII text format, I assumed that Word was not available.
- If it were, all you'd have to do is send it a polite DDE message asking
- it to save the file you wanted as text. My assumption was that the
- original request's real question was concerning writing an I/O library
- to read and write the DOC file format.
