word2x for OS/2
Version EX3
(21th February 1999)
Convert a Microsoft Word 6 (or later) document to an other format
word2x (word-to-x) converts a Microsoft Word for Windows document
(.DOC) to plain-text, HTML or LaTeX, preserving some layout features
such as tables and lists.
It guesses rather a lot from context and can make mistakes.
Pictures are not supported and will not appear.
This version is an enhanced port
of the original word2x for Unix.
Word2x is free software. Source code is included.

"Junk" filters eliminate garbage characters
Unicode documents should work now (?)
Some options tuneable at compile time (tune.h)
New HTML output
Minor code cleanups
Minor manual cleanups
Minor speed inprovment
Other smaller improvements
