I have uploaded dhfilt01.zip to Hobbes. It can be found at:

  http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/misc/dhfilt01.zip 

This update adds the filter XFWRD3.EXE to the package.

Have you ever received an email message that has some information
worth saving, but has been mangled by mutiple forwarding and various
windows based email programs? You could load the message into your
favorite editor and manually edit the text, but why bother when you
can use one or all of my text filters to fix most problems caused by
email programs. 

Filters are system utilities that intercept data from the standard
input device (STDIN), process it, and send it to the standard output
device (STDOUT). Filters can be used with a pipe. 

XFWRD.EXE is a simple filter that removes all ">" characters at the
start of a line. It only removes the ">" characters at the start of a
line and stops when any other character is found. 

XFWRD3.EXE is a simple filter that removes all single ">" characters
and the string " >" at the start of a line. It stops when any other
character is found. 

XFORM.EXE is a simple filter that removes the new line characters
from lines that are more than 1 character long. Thus it will turn
each paragraph into one long line suitable for importing into a
program that provides word wrapping.

XNEWS.EXE is a filter that attempts to remove MIME formatting 
characters, "smart quotes" and other "smart" formatting characters
that are left in text that was created or modified using Microsoft
products.


I wrote the programs to use with my Command line Clipboard Access 
(CCA) utilities which are command line programs (fclip2 and toclip)
that provide access to the OS/2 clipboard. 

You can find out more about CCA on my web page at:

  http://www2.southwind.net/~dwhawk/clipboard.html 

You can find a trial version of CCA on my web page at:
