| 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.
