</A></H2>

<DL>

<DT><B>Mapping files like 8859-1.txt</B>  </DT>
<DD> <BR>
Antiword looks for its mapping files in 
three directories, in the order given:  <BR>
(1) The directory specified by 
$ANTIWORDHOME  <BR>
(2) The directory specified by $HOME/.antiword  <BR>
(3) Directory /boot/home/config/apps/antiword </DD>

<DT><B>The fontnames file</B>  </DT>
<DD> <BR>
Antiword will look for its fontname 
file in the same directories as used for the mapping files.  <BR>
The fontnames 
file contains the translation table from font names used by MS Word to 
font names used by PostScript. </DD>

<DT><B>NOTE:</B>  </DT>
<DD> <BR>
Antiword cannot tell the difference 
between a file that does not exist and a file that cannot be opened for 
reading. </DD>
</DL>
 
<H2><A NAME="sect5" HREF="#toc5">ENVIRONMENT </A></H2>
Antiword uses the environment variable ``ANTIWORDHOME'' 
as the first directory to look for its files. Antiword uses the environment 
variable ``HOME'' to find the user's home directory. When in text mode it uses 
the variable ``COLUMNS'' to set the width of the output (unless overridden 
by the -w option). <P>
 Antiword uses the environment variables ``LC_ALL'', ``LC_CTYPE'' 
and ``LANG'' (in that order) to get the current locale and uses this information 
to select the default mapping file.  
<H2><A NAME="sect6" HREF="#toc6">BUGS </A></H2>
Antiword is far from complete. 
Many features are still missing. Many images are not shown yet. Some of 
the images that are shown, are shown in the wrong place. PostScript output 
is only available in ISO 8859-1 and ISO 8859-2.

released version of Antiword is always available from:  <BR>
