Title: doc2html.pl and word2x
Doc2html.pl requires a minimum of two parameters to work, it must have the MIME-type.
 
Try:
 
$ /usr/local/bin/doc2html.pl //c/air31.doc application/msword
 
Can you tell us a bit more about word2x?  What platforms will it run on, and where can one get it?
I would like to include support for it in the next version of doc2html.

Subject: [htdig] doc2html.pl and word2x

[I apologize for the multipart email, an MS Exchange bug ignores my client settings for plain text]

I'm trying to use word2x as an external converter for Word docs, through doc2html.pl.

When I run word2x

$ /usr/local/bin/word2x.exe //c/air31.doc \-

It works; I get the text to stdout.

So I put this in doc2html.pl:

my $CATDOC = '/usr/local/bin/word2x.exe';

and later, in the text section

$cmdl = "$cmd $Input \-";

where appropriate.

The only output I get from

$ /usr/local/bin/doc2html.pl //c/air31.doc

is

doc2html: [?]
!       UNABLE to convert

How can I troubleshoot this?  Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Greg Holmes
