Question about antiword

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Dave. I posted about this a while ago and I got no response. I have extensively tested that application, and its broken. I now use a program called catdoc. I forget where you get it, but just do a google search on it. Catdoc works much like cat, and it spits out the text portion of your word document to standard output, which in my case is redirected to a txt file.
