I've updated mswordview in the consult locker to the most
recently released version, 0.5.2. For those not familiar with it,
mswordview is a program which converts MS Word 8 documents into HTML
format. It's currently available for Solaris, Irix, Linux, NetBSD, and
Ultrix. Features of the new release include:
*better support of table and column formatting
*faster processing of long documents
*better font support in endnotes/footnotes
*preliminary support for WMF (Windows Metafile) format graphics
*AIX support (like we care)
*and numerous bug fixes
To run mswordview, type:
add consult
mswordview filename.doc
which will produce a file filename.doc.html
Documentation is available in the form of a man page:
add consult
man mswordview
Any bug reports should be directed to bug-consult@mit.edu.
