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. It now translates iso8859-1 character codes (windows codepage) to codepage 437 or codepage 850 character codes.
Although Netscape will save a web page as plain ascii text, it also saves the layout of the page. Using PMStripper as the HTML source viewer with Netscape will make it easier obtain just the text of an article posted on a web page.
New in PMStripper 1.26
Added accelerator keys Alt+1 , Alt+2, Alt+3, Alt+C, and Ctrl+E
Alt+1 toggles the "discard the first 100 lines" option and then reloads the source file
Alt+2 toggles the "discard the first 200 lines" option and then reloads the source file
Alt+3 toggles the "discard the first 300 lines" option and then reloads the source file. Alt+C performs the same function as ALT+3. Since "discard the first 300 lines" works best for the CNN site, I selected Alt+C as a reminder.
Ctrl+E marks the text from the current cursor position to the end of text.
The following key combinations work in PMStripper and many other OS/2 applications.
New in PMStripper 1.25
Added menu entries under "Strip Options" to discard the first 100, 200, or 300 lines. Using one of these options may eliminate most of unwanted text from sidebar links that appear on the left side of many web pages. On some sites (such as CNN.com) the sidebar links can result in several pages of text and blank lines that are not part of the wanted information on a web page.
New in PMStripper 1.24
Added 'Translate iso8859-1 character codes' option under 'Strip Options'. Fixed bug in how html comments are stripped.
New in PMStripper 1.23
Added 'Hard code word wrap' menu item under "File" on the menubar. This option adds CR-LF pairs to each line in the display window to make the current word wrap permanent. This should make it easier to print the stripped text.

ZEROFREE clears all freespace in a filesystem, making compression in environments like VirtualPC more effective and making sure deleted files are not recoverable anymore (for security)
TRUNCATE an HPFS partition can make it smaller, to a minimum of about half the original size (when enough freespace is available).
Large file support allows image-files larger than 2Gb to be used, and volumes larger than 2Gb to be opened using DFSee.
DFSee is the SWISS-ARMY-KNIFE for disk and filesystem problems. It has FDISK-like displays, cloning, analysis and recovery tools with powerfull FIX commands and UNDELETE for HPFS and NTFS.
