Re: Thank you

About all I know I can say is that its a US gov't project parsing raw text
from documents in many many formats. Its not too evil in its purpose ;-)

I have used Lucene in the past back when I worked in the oil industry. Yet
another fast indexing engine for oil meta data. This was back when Lucene
was first conceived and I even had a class with Erik Hatcher as the
presenter. :-)

Thanks again, now I just have to read up on how to commit a fix to your
source I had to make to enable full text scraping of PPTs.
