Indeed. Very handy. I recently wrapped it in a script on encountering a
.doc which was doublespaced (cretins! there's only one use for double
space and thats for things people have to write on, like proofreading).
So I present to you vdoc (which relies on undblspc and pageif):
http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/vdoc
http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/undblspc
http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/pageif
Tiny scripts, but handy.
Now I just pipe msword attachments through vdoc from mutt.
Cheers,
