converting files to text

[Buddy Brannan]

Couple of options here, Chuck.

WV (formerly Wordview) has a utility that converts from Word to HTML. The
HTML is kinda messy though, but readable in Lynx. However, my fave util is
antiword, which dumps ASCII to stdout by default, but you can pipe through
more or redirect to a file if you like. It's small. It's fast. It even
works. If you can't find it on freshmeat, lemme know and I'll send you a
copy.
