MS Word displayer

[glenn at vtecus.com (Glenn Burkhardt)]

This might be old news to some, but I've just installed 'antiword', and it's
great!  

It can be integrated with exmh (and probably other mail clients) to display
Word documents inline.  It also translates Word to Postscript. There were some
example KDE links that allow drag and drop of a Word document to a desktop icon
- the document comes up in Ghostview.

The main link is:

http://www.winfield.demon.nl/index.html

The /etc/mailcap rule I used is:

application/msword;/usr/local/bin/antiword -t %s | less; needsterminal; \
            copiousoutput; print=antiword -p letter %s|lpr

I was also able to create an application link so that a single click 
on a Word document in kfm brings it up in Ghostview....

No more waiting for StarOffice to come up...
