What, like producing Quicktime files, or using a Linux box as a middleman
editing machine? Either way sounds cool though!

What about "calendar"? Actually I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person
who still uses this program, but I've found it to be pretty useful if you
want an appointment reminder type program. And it's easy to make extensions
for special topics or calendars, like the Angst Calendar available at
www.angst.org/.

This is probably no help to you, but I once wrote an [ugh] ms-word macro to
do this. Yes, you could just do save as.. in word or in write, but my
problem was that i needed to preserve italics; my macro went in and turned
every italicized word into _this_. you may not need this, and if so you can
just cat the .wri file -- there's a lot of junk in the beginning and end but
all the text should be there. not too good of a solution though.

HMMMM... this is a good one. It could be programmed, I'm sure, but the
question is, what format would the resulting file be in? Programs like
minicom have a capture buffer to capture keystrokes, but I have never heard
of anything that records keystrokes _in time_. Actually such a thing would
be _very_ useful. Anyone have any idea how such a file might look like, what
kind of format it would be in?
