Question about antiword

['Georgina']

Hi

Well I missed your post.  I guess that the file is related to language
and character sets, going by the name of the file.  I've got antiword
installed and it works very nicely.  I've just looked and there are no
dependencies relating to character sets.  Have you installed locale?
Perhaps, your using a newer version?
