,----[ ~/bin/pkgdesc antiword ]
| Package: antiword
| Description: Converts MS Word files to text and ps
| Antiword is a free MS Word reader.
| .
| It converts the binary files from MS Word 6, 7, 97 and 2000 to text and
| Postscript.

,----[ ~/bin/pkgdesc wv ]
| Package: wv
| Description: Programs for accessing Microsoft Word documents
| wvWare (previously known as mswordview) is a library that allows access
| to Microsoft Word files. It can load and parse the Word 2000, Word 97,
| Word 95, and Word 6 file formats. (Work is underway to support reading
| earlier formats as well: Word 2 documents are converted to plain text.)
| .
| This package provides the following programs:
| .
| * wvWare: Converts to HTML and LaTeX. It's used by a small army of
| helper scripts able to preview Word documents and convert them to
| various other formats, like PostScript, PDF, DVI, etc.
| .
| * wvRTF: Converts to Microsoft's Rich Text Format.
| .
| * wvSummary: Displays the summary information stream of all OLE2 files,
| i.e. Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Access, etc.
| .
| * wvVersion: Outputs the version of the Word format a document is stored
| in.
| .
| Note that conversion to DVI, PostScript, or PDF requires the tetex-extra
| package; PDF conversion also requires Ghostscript. Having ELinks, Links,
| or Lynx will greatly improve the plain text output. ImageMagick may help
| with the quality of images. If you wish to preview Word documents from
| the comfort of your mail reader, install a PostScript viewer like gv.
