Convert .INF to .TXT
Peter Feldmann
Any suggestions as to the best way to convert OS/2 .INF files to plain old
text files? I'd like to prin them out as ASCII, rather than use the
original authors' ideas on page formatting (sometimes 3-5 lines of text /
page). :-)

There was a file on hobbes that would convert an INF file to plain
text, but I cannot remember the name. You will need to do a search
thru the index file.
I usually use the Services option to copy the file to the clipboard or
to a file if it is too large for the clipboard. When it is copied, it
is plain ascii. I paste the text from the clipboard into a utility
that lets me mark non-contigious lines of text so I can do a one pass
edit of the text in the clipboard.

You may be thinking of infcnb86.zip, which converts INF (or HLP)
files to TXT. There is also infhtm9b.zip, which converts the same
two types to HTML.
