The latest version of catdoc (0.91.5) works quite well under Linux
(also BasicLinux/Slackware-3.5): It converts Word documents to
pure text and Excel files to an ASCII format that can be imported
into any spreadsheet or database application. And it is able
to autodetect the encoding (ie. whether ISO-8859-X or Unicode
is used).
Catdoc author Victor Wagner provides source code in C and (as I
understand) claims that the program portable. The DOS binary on his
download site is version 0.90.3 and does not have the features above.
So I tried to compile 0.91.5 under DOS with Turbo C 2.1 compiler.
Without success.
I would really like to know whether it is possible. Isn't there
anybody on the list understanding a bit of C programming who
can tell?
