        Archive Filename: pms_114.zip
             Program URL: http://www2.southwind.net/~dwhawk
Operating System/Version: OS/2 Warp 3 and later
            Registration: $9.95 (US) from BMT Micro at www.bmtmicro.com

This PM utility strips HTML codes from Web pages, leaving only the text and
optionally the URLs.   While the layout of tables and lists is lost during
stripping, data is sorted to separate lines for legibility.
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 directly into PMStripper. This will make it easier to
cut and paste information or URLs from web pages.
It can also be installed as the document source viewer in Netscape. Using
PMStripper will make it easier to extract text from a busy web page when
using Netscape.  When you save a web page as text in Netscape, the
multicolumn layout is maintained.  If PMStripper is used to convert the web
page to plain text, the result is not multicolumn and it is easier to edit.
New in PMStripper 1.14
Fixed a problem that occurred when the user tried to copy more than 64K of
text to the OS/2 Clipboard. In previous versions, the program would abort
without any warning or error messages.
Made most of the menu bar selections inactive when a file is being loaded
and/or stripped.  It was possible to cause the program to crash, if the
user tried to modify the stripping options while an html source file was
being stripped.
Added menu item for the default directory to be used for html source files
and an entry to enable the feature. The enable option is only available on
the registered version of PMStripper.
Modified the menu selections so that options only available in the
registered version are not selectable.
Modified the ignore CR-LF option to reduce the number of blanks inserted in
place of the CR-LF pairs.
Added "Ignore cr-lf" and "Ignore " settings to the saved values.
added codes for the brain dead windows web masters • and •  now
converted to 0xfe
Changed menu bar shortcut to "l" instead of "F" on File. In previous
releases, the only way to see the menu under File was to use the mouse to
select File.  THis change does not alter how any of the other accelerator
key function. ALT-F still brings up the open file dialog box
Made the file save operations run on a separate thread.
