You never know--you might be able to "steal" the AltaVista filters. I don't
know the details of their filters, but if they use external programs too,
you can use those (at least as examples). If not, I suggest looking in
something like Yahoo for a PowerPoint -> HTML converter.

Use GNU sort. The sort program on Solaris seems to have some nasty bugs

This may be a bug from me. Try the latest snapshot from
http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/ (if there's a great need, I'll
"bless" something soon as a beta, even though there are some unresolved
bugs.)
