I have a need for a special parsing program, if anyone is up to the task (?). I
need to parse/convert an RSS/Xml Feed (ascii text format) to plain Text. The
ONLY data I'm interested in is in multiple chunks throughout the file and
delimited by either <title> and </title>, or <description> and </description>.
Each chunk should get written (minus the delimiting headers) to a new text
file, followed by a blank line after each one.

I need this as a command-line DOS utility for native MS-DOS 6.22, though
compatibility with Wins DOS box & Linux DOSEmu would be a big plus. The
resulting raw output will be mailed to me for review and automatically
processed/formatted with control characters then made available as a daily
Bulletin for users on my BBS. :)

Note: a sample input file can be D/L'd using WGet (or any browser then saving
as text) from http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/tech ...
