Skippy is a 32-bit HTML stripper.  Although primarily designed to
work with Sally version 3, as Skippy is a stand-alone program
requiring no external 'run-time' files, it should work with any PMS which is capable of calling external viewers.

Skippy can also be used as a stand-alone editor for stripping the 
HTML from files before, for example, Saving or Printing their plain-
text version.

It has been tested on systems running Windows 98se, Windows ME and
Windows 2000. I think it should run on Windows 95 (although this has not been tested) but will NOT run on Windows 3.x.

Copy SKIP32.EXE into the directory of your choice (for example,
program files\sally\external) and configure Sally's automatic viewer
accordingly.  

*******
For some reason (yet to be discovered) Skippy's 'Print' option did
not work with my Epson Stylus Color 660 printer when using the Windows
driver supplied with the printer (version 5.21E).  After downloading
a later version (5.24E) from the Epson site [www.epson.co.uk] all
worked as it should. If you have trouble printing it may be worth
checking if a newer driver is available for your printer.
