Subject:"Butterfly," Anyone? From:"James C. Swinburn" <102232 -dot- 2376 -at- COMPUSERVE -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 23 Oct 1995 17:51:22 EDT
I have heard tell of a software product, possibly called "Butterfly," which will
capture the print stream exported by an application and extract an ASCII file
which can be used to populate a word process document.
Anyone know anything about such a critter? I am interested in pulling data
from an old Clipper front end to a DB2 database that produced ugly, but
technically correct tables running hundreds of pages.
