I recently discovered the utility "ps2ascii" which extracts text from
postscript files and also from pdf files. Now what I wish I could discover
is a similar utility to deal with MS Word files. I am curious to know what
some of you "Linux Only" users do when you get files attached as MSWord
documents?
