At our site we are planning to install Sun's PCNFS on several PC's used by secretarial staff. The file server is a Sun 3/280 running SunOS 3.5, shortly to be upgraded to 4.0. One of the reasons for using PCNFS is so that users on the Sun can generate documents (using the vi editor) which can then be picked up by the PC's, and processed, using Microsoft WORD. I believe MS-W can handle a number of input formats, including plain ASCII. However, perhaps some filtering is necessary, for example removing CR's that may be at the end of every line of the vi-generated file. This alone is fairly trivial, but it occours to me that perhaps there already exists a filter to prepare an ASCII file generated by a UNIX editor for use by MS-W. Anybody know of one? Any information will be much appreciated. Please email direct as I do not currently subscribe to this list. Thanks.
