wv 1.0.2-0.1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu hoary

Convert and preview Microsoft Word documents
 wv (previously known as mswordview) is a library which allows access to
 Microsoft Word files. It can load and parse the Word 2000, 97, 95, and 6
 file format. (Work is underway to support reading earlier formats as
 well: Word 2 documents are converted to plain text.)
 .
 Among the provided programs are:
 .
  * wvWare: Converts to HTML and LaTeX. It's used by a small army of
    helper scripts able to preview Word documents and convert them to
    various other formats, like PostScript, PDF, DVI, etc.
 .
  * wvRTF: Converts to Microsoft's Rich Text Format.
 .
  * wvSummary: Displays the summary information stream of all OLE2 files,
    i.e. Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Access, etc.
 .
  * wvVersion: Outputs the version of the Word format a document is stored
    in.
 .
 Note that conversion to DVI, PostScript, or PDF requires the tetex-extra
 package; PDF conversion also requires Ghostscript. Lynx will greatly
 improve the plain text output, and ImageMagick may help with the quality
 of images. If you wish to preview Word documents from the comfort of your
 mail reader, install a PostScript viewer like gv.
