FREEWARE: Converters for Microsoft Word documents
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
word2html
Version Sep2-98
word2html (word-to-html) is a program that converts Microsoft Word 6+
(version 6 or later) documents (.DOC) to HTML.
It runs on OS/2 and MS-DOS/Windows.
The OS/2 version requires the emx runtime emx.dll.
The DOS version requires the emx runtime emx.exe or rsx.exe.
word2html is Free software. Src incl.
The latest OS/2-DOS version is Sep2-98.
It is functionally equivalent to version M1 which may be available at
other servers (M1 includes the emx runtime DLL).
It is the first version I did.
The official word2html for OS/2 and DOS homepage is
http://www.d3.net/joerg/word2html.html
Get emx runtime from (emxrt) from www.leo.org (OS/2 sect.)
Get rsx from ftp.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/systems/msdos/misc
word2html for OS/S and DOS is based
on the Unix software by Michael Ritzert

word2x for OS/2
Version EX
(replaces 0-A)
Word2x (Word-to-X) converts Microsoft Word 6+ documents (.DOC)
to Plain-Text, HTML or LaTeX.
This version runs under OS/2 and MS-DOS/Windows
(support files included).
Free software. Source code included.
NEW IN VERSION EX (since version 0-A)
Brilliant user guide
Install program

(-d or --dates is correct)

Uncompressed binary is 25% smaller
Runs on MS-DOS/Windows systems (support files included)
-w 0 option added (only for text output)
more

Laola/Elser
Laola is a Perl library to read OLE files.
Elser is a program that actually was designed to convert Word documents
easily to HTML documents. Anyway, this is a pretty difficult task. So the
current release of Elser does many things, except such a conversion. Assume
to see a very first result done on the way to understand Word and then to
convert it.
Laola/Elser requires the Perl programming language to be installed.
