I've found your site useful and I've taken several examples from there and tried to pull them into a single program for some conversion work we're doing. I seem to be having difficulty with the OLE_TYPE = 'b' documents.

I can extract the data to a file, append the LZW magic number and get a valid uncompress, but the document won't open in Word. I'm pretty sure that the file is valid (it will open through Portal/J), and I can see valid content in the file (from the strings command), but I'm not sure what's keeping it from opening in Word.

I found a program that displays OLE container information (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mvole) and it can display information about the file without errors. Any ideas on how to get over the final hump?

Once I get the programs finished and debugged, I plan on submitting them back to the site (since the site helped me write them in the first place).
