I know there are programs (e.g., pstotext) to strip text from Postscript files, but has anyone got any code to do the same thing for HP-PCL5 files? Alternatively, are there any editors or word processors that understand HP-PCL5, and can present an on-screen image of the text that the printer would produce, maybe with an option to save-as a simple text file (i.e., with the PCL5 codes stripped out)? TIA for any help, info or url's you can provide. ---------------------------------------------------- Peter J.
