MS-Word reader which can convert documents from Word 2, 6, 7, 97,
2000, and 2002 to text and Postscript. The layout of the document is
kept intact if possible.

a)

wget --non-verbose  \
  http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/antiword/antiword-0.35-1-src.tar.bz2 \
  http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/antiword/antiword-0.35-1.tar.bz2 \
  http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/antiword/setup.hint


b) or use this:

mkdir antiword ; cd antiword
wget -q -O - http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/antiword/get.sh | sh


Let there be choices. Choose the one that is better suited for
*.doc: catdoc or antiword. If the other did not do well, then try with
the other. Word files differ great deal.
