The differences between the the Unix version of antiword and the DOS version.

(1)
The Unix version expects its mapping files in $HOME/.antiword.
The DOS version expects its mapping files in %HOME%\antiword if HOME is set
and in C:\antiword if HOME is not set.

(2)
The Unix version reads its font information from a file called fontnames.
The DOS version reads its font information from a file called fontname.txt.

(3)
The DOS version expects its mapping files to be in DOS text format. (CR+NL)

(4)
The Unix version needs mapping file 8859-1.txt for Latin1 text and 8859-2.txt
for Latin2 text.
The DOS version might work better with mapping file cp850.txt for Latin1 text
and cp852.txt for Latin2 text.

(5)
The DOS version rejects all files with long filenames.
Please use the DOS name (8+3) instead.

(6)
The Antiword executable (antiword.exe) can be placed in any directory. If you
choose a directory from your %PATH%, you wil not have to use a full pathname
every time.



Examples of use:

(1) show the Word document one page after another
antiword filename.doc | more

(2) save the text version of the Word document in a file
antiword filename.doc > filename.txt

(3) use mapping file cp850.txt
antiword -m cp850.txt filename.doc
