It does, with the exception that I have to do a lot of stream editing to
clean out hyperlink symbols and junk like that. That's what I do now. My
application is actually to grab hockey player statistics off the Web and
compute running scores for a hockey pool. :) A straight -dump without
formatting (because the stats lines run over 80 columns) would be cleaner,
is all.
