        Long Description: PMStripper. A fully functional, OS/2 PM
                          utility which strips HTML codes from Web
                          pages leaving some formatting intact.
                          PMStripper may also be installed as the
                          html source viewer in WebX which will make
                          it easier to cut and paste information
                          from web pages. Will also work as the
                          document source viewer with Netscape.

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 directectly into PMStripper.
Since the IBM Web Explorer does not have an option to save the
contents of a web page as plain ascii text, using PMStripper makes
it easier to save text from web pages.

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.

Registered users of PMStripper will have access to two additional
executable files that were compiled with the 486 and 586 compiler
options.  These versions will offer some performance improvement
for users with 468 , Pentium, or equivalent CPUs. 

New in PMStripper 1.21

Fixed bug that prevented the font selection made from
the menu from being saved as the new default font.

Added support for saving drag and drop color and font changes
made to the information area below the main window. This
should make PMStripper easier to use for OS/2 users with
vision problems. 

Added a "Save Marked Text To File" option under "File"
on the menubar.

New in PMStripper 1.20

Added support for saving drag & drop color and font changes
made to the menubar.  This should make the utility
easer to use for OS/2 users with vision problems.

Fixed a bug in the naming of the profile file when
the environment variable in the config.sys file is
used to specify the location of the file.
