I just checked the program antiword from contrib's rpms (antiword-0.31-2). I believe it would be more suggestive to replace the converter on Midnight Commander for *.doc extensions as most documents today are made in more recent formats. For quite a long time the mc.ext shows word2x as the *.doc format converter. However this tool converts only Word95 at most. For the penguin community this may sound superfluous. Well there is the excellent wv tool, but converting to raw text with its help is not suitable to mc. This may be a minor problem as one may fastly convert to a mc readable format and then use mc to sort things out. However, when one gets five tons of word docs, it is easier to sort out the mess using directly mc capabilities without hurdles. Ektanoor
