[plug] text processing

[Graham, Alan A.]

!#/bin/ksh
# I can't test this cos I'm on an NT box :-(
# I know korn shell, but I understand bash can run ksh scripts
#

for $file in $(ls ../docs/*doc)
do
	$file_out=${$file%doc}html
	wvText < ../docs.$file | txt2html > ../html/$file_out
done

I can't remember if the output from straight ls looks like ../doc/one.doc or
just one.doc.  The code assumes one.doc.  And I say again, I can't test this
goes I don't have access to a real OS at this site.
