Abiword does not preserve the formatting of the tables or columns of the 
doc file I fed it.  Antiword does.  Catdoc does not.

Antiword works with linux charsets (iso-8859-2) but gives only error 
messages with cp1250, which is what I ought to send back to Windows users.
I wrote the author about this.

I found charconv, which is supposed to convert between these two formats 
and should compile with g++ 3.0.1 or later (I really ought to update my 
compilers gcc and g++ to SW8.1) but refuses to download with a 403 error.

Does anyone know of a precompiled charset convertor I could use to produce 
cp1250 (or maybe unicode if Windows XP only reads that)?
