Well, I know of three: word2x: http://word2x.alcom.co.uk/ wv: http://www.wvWare.com/ catdoc: http://www.fe.msk.ru/~vitus/catdoc/ Of these, wv is probably the best. Last time I used these (1998 or so) they were quite buggy and did only a very basic job converting the documents, caveat emptor. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
