Reading MS word files with antiword and gui

[mr.wilson]

I wrote a python app for the 770 to display the output of antiword. Useful for reading simple MS docs. It is a .deb file so as long as python is installed it should work.

So wait, this should read Microsoft Word Documents? If it does, THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!

Ok, I installed Python and Anti-Word. But for every doc I try to open, it tells me that it cannot open the file. Any ideas?

Antiword interprets basic word docs and does a good job but not all.

Try this file, I tested that and works just fine. If not let me know, somthing else may have gone wrong.
