I need to be able to edit the files easily. You see, these are all my
patient files with medical histories, follow up etc. some of them run into
20 -30 pages. I don't want to use SO or Abiword to see view/edit them.
Converting them to html seems out because I need to have them rw. I need a
program which will easily convert the doc files to text. I'd like to be able
to work purely from the console. There isn't much formatting or columns in
the files.
