There's also a converter called Convert Lit: [link]
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Someone sent me a leaflet to print in a Microsoft Publisher Format. I don't have anything that can open Publisher files. Any free software out there anyone knows of that can? Thanks.
God, that's so annoying. Anyway, Create Adobe PDF Online will convert Publisher files to PDF, and it's free.

Adobe on-line does do the conversion, but unfortunately cuts off part of the printing.
The readers Daniel suggested are mainly e-book readers. Apparently most software out (other than Microsoul publisher itself) there does not read publisher files. Adobe products are an exception - Both Pagemaker and Inline will read publisher files (which makes sense you always want to be able to import the competitions product.) I'm guessing Quark Xpress will as well. Unfortunately GIMP (which ulike Quark and Xpress I have) won't. I do have a printed copy, and I guess that will have to do.
Anyway, thanks to you both for trying.

No problem. I will add that there seem to be other free online PDF creators if you don't care about the site owners (possibly) looking at the content of your Publication. Perhaps one of these will perform better than Adobe's site.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
There's something bizarre happening on one of the Macs at work. The screen wiggles all around when you move the mouse. It's like pan and scan. Through an earthquake. Is it possessed? Can I make it stop?

Sounds like you've got the "Easy Access" turned on in OS9 [link] or it's equivelent in OSX [link] .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is there a way to use grep (or something similar) that will give me just a single count of all matches for multiple files? I can do this:
grep -cirh "panda" *
and it just returns the count of the matches, except it returns one number for each file. I want the total for all files.

You know, zoom on a huge monitor doesn't zoom so much as shimmy shimmy.
All better now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
perl -lne '$tot += grep /panda/i, split; END { print $tot }' *
Will count the number of occurrences of each word. Using grep will count the word only once, even if it occurs multiple times per line.
