+Catdoc is small program which extracts readable text from
+MS-Word file. Version 0.90 supports at least MS-Word 6.0, 95 and 97
+although you might have some luck even with Write files.
+
+Catdoc can replace characters, which are special to tex and which
+are not present in current character set by appropriate TeX commands
+(fully configurable).
+
+There are two distributives of catdoc
+
+catdoc-0.90.tar.gz - source only distribution. Works for all platforms
+ if you know, how to unpack tar.gz and compile C
+ code
+catdoc-0.90.zip - includes precomplied DOS executable. For dos users
+ without tar and C compiler. If you are installing it
+ on Unix, use zip -a to convert text files to UNIX
+ format.
