.TH DOCTOTEXT 1 "22 July 1999" "CQ Codeworks" "Doc Toolkit"
.SH NAME
doctotext \- convert Doc-format e-text to ordinary text
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B doctotext
.I DATABASES ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual pages documents
.B doctotext,
the part of Doc Toolkit that converts e-texts back into ordinary
text. The Doc to text conversion is not as sophisticated as the
reverse; it simply uncompresses the Doc database and dumps its
contents into a plain text file.
.SS SPECIFYING DATABASES
Each command line argument specifies one database to convert.
Databases may be specified in several different ways:
.TP
As a simple file name, referring to a local file in prc/pdb format.
.TP
As a http: or ftp: URL, referring to a remote file in prc/pdb format.
.TP
As a URL of the format
.B user:[//username][/path]/dbname .
This type of URL refers to a database in the
Pyrite repository. If the
.I username
is not provided, the Pyrite default user name is assumed. If the
.I path
is not provided, the default is "backup". Note that the specified
database name refers to the actual title of the database as it would
appear inside the palmtop, not to the name of the prc/pdb file it
happens to be stored in on the desktop.
.SH BUGS
If you are using this package on a Debian system, please use the
Debian bug reporting system at
.B http://www.debian.org/Bugs/
to report any problems you might find. Otherwise, please report bugs
directly to the author.
