Antiword is a free MS-Word reader for Linux, RISC
OS, and DOS. It converts the documents from Word
2, 6, 7, 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 to text,
Postscript, and XML/DocBook. Antiword tries to
keep the layout of the document intact.

ANTIWORDHOME. It slightly improves the XML/DocBook output and adds more
support for WinWord 1.x documents.
