NAME
     wvWare - convert msword documents

SYNOPSIS
     wvWare  [-c  charset]  [--charset	charset] [-p password] [--password password] [-x
     config.xml] [--config config.xml] [-d dir] [--dir dir] filename

DESCRIPTION
     wvWare converts word documents into other formats such  as  PS,PDF,HTML,La-
     TeX,DVI,ABW

   OPTIONS
     -c charset, --charset charset
	    word  97 documents are stored in one of two formats, either in 8 bit
	    windows codepages or in 16 bit unicode. The unicode can be converted
	    easily into utf-8, and the codepages are  promoted	to  unicode  and
	    converted from there, except for the western european codepage which
	    is	always converted to iso-5589-15 if possible. This is the default
	    behaviour. While it is possible to convert into other formats or  to
	    force  a  conversion to a particular format, it is not recomended as
	    you don't get a guarantee that the output will be correct.	For  in-
	    stance, if you convert an english document into koi8-r encoding then
	    it	will be wrong, but if you are sure then you can override the de-
	    fault output format. The charsets that are available depend on  your
	    system:  systems  using the gnu libc 2 and above can convert to just
	    about anything; systems that at, wv configure time, prove to be  in-
	    adequate for charset conversion use wv's internal conversion formats
	    which  are a small subset of the possible conversions, namely: utf-8
	    iso-5589-15 koi8-r tis-620

     -p password, --password password
	    Due to heroic work done by a great team of workers, the  wv  library
	    can  decrypt  password  protected word 97 and older versions of word
	    documents given the correct password.

     -d dir, --dir dir
	    If dir is used then any created graphics will be placed in this  di-
	    rectory. The default is the directory in which the word document re-
	    sides.

     -x config.xml, --config config.xml
	    Use  this  to give the location of the config file. If not used, the
	    config file is searched for by first checking the current directory,
	    and  then	by   looking   in   the   install   location   (/usr/lo-
	    cal/lib/wv/wvHtml.xml by default)
