======================

MANY SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR DATA ANALYSIS REQUIRE SPECIFIC FORMATTING FOR
PROCESSING SOURCE FILES. ON THIS PAGE YOU WILL FIND A NUMBER OF TOOLS,
WITH WHICH YOU CAN CONVERT THE FORMAT OF MULTIPLE FILES AT THE SAME
TIME.

html to txt conversion
----------------------

FREQUENTLY, SOFTWARE PROCESSING TEXTUAL DATA CANNOT DIRECTLY HANDLE
HTML-FILES, WHICH ARE THE MOST COMMON FILES FOUND ON THE WEB. BELOW
PROGRAMS BATCH CONVERT HTML INTO PLAIN TEXT. TO GET AN IDEA ABOUT THE
CAPABILITIES OF THESE PROGRAMS, YOU CAN GET THE PLAIN-TEXT-VERSION OF
THE CURRENT HTML PAGE, AS CREATED BY THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS BY CLICKING
ON THE "CONVERSION RESULT"-LINKS.

    - Web2Text [2]
    WEB2TEXT IS A BARE BONES PROGRAM, WITH WHICH YOU CAN BATCH CONVERT
    HTML FILES INTO TXT. ( conversion result )

    - Detagger [3]
    DETAGGER CONTAINS A FEW MORE OPTIONS THAN WEB2TEXT, BUT THESE
    OPTIONS DO NOT ENHANCE THE CONVERSION PROCESS SIGNIFICANTLY. HENCE,
    WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ITS PURCHASE (CURRENTLY US-$ 20). ( conversion
    result )

    - HTMLtoTXT [4]
    IF YOU DO NOT REQUIRE PARAGRAPH MARKS IN HTML TO BE REPRODUCED IN
    THE ASCII FILE, TRY HTMLTOTXT. ( conversion result )

    - Markup Remover [5]
    THIS WINDOWS 3.11 STYLE TAG REMOVER IS SHAREWARE AND HAS SOME USEFUL
    CUSTOMIZATION FACILITIES, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT CAN CONVERT TO ASCII,
    ISO 8859-1, AND ANSI (FOR UNIX). ( conversion result )

    - NoteTab [6]
    NOTETAB IS NOT A STAND-ALONE DETAGGER, BUT A FULL FLEDGED
    ASCII/HTML-EDITOR. THE SHAREWARE FEE OF US-$ 19.95 WILL YIELD A
    QUICK PAYBACK, AS IT MOST EFFECTIVELY TRANSFORMS HTML INTO PLAIN
    TEXT. ( conversion result )

    - HTML Markdown [7]
    HTML MARKDOWN WAS WRITTEN FOR THE POWERMAC.
    - more html converters [8]


Other Converters
----------------
    - ABC AMBER TEXTCONVERTER [9]
    this shareware conversion tool performs conversions between many
    major file formats, namely:

        * ANSI (.TXT)
        * unicode (.txt)
        * Rich Text Format (.rtf)
        * MICROSOFT™ WORD™ (.DOC)
        * corel™ wordperfect™ (.doc)
        * Lotus™ AmiPro™ (.ami)
        * MICROSOFT™ EXCEL™ (.XLS)
