ps2ascii - to extract text from PostScript
pptHtml - to convert Powerpoint files to HTML
xlHtml - to convert Excel spreadsheets to HTML
or
xls2csv - to obtain data from Excel spreadsheets.

xlHtml is an Excel 95 and later file converter. Its html output
can be used as a Netscape Plugin to let you view xls e-mail
attachments. It can also extract regions of a spreadsheet and
convert the spreadsheet to pure text rather than html.

Speed up pure perl base64 encoder/decoder by using join/map instead
of while loop.
Doc update contributed by Jerrad Pierce
Downgrade UTF8 strings before starting to encode.
rpm2cpio reads RPM archive and dumps the content to standard out as a cpio
format. It's written in Perl.
I moved its category from original place misc to converters.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
unix2dos and dos2unix are utilities that convert ASCII files from
the DOS cr/lf format to the UNIX lf format.
