catdoc has been updated to fix some issues reported by Bernt Røskar Brenna.
There's now a /etc/catdocrc file with the entry use_locale=no to disable the automatic output locale detection, which is on cygwin always falsely US-ASCII, where it should be 8859-1. If your locale is detected correctly set use_locale=yes or remove this line. catdoc dumps Word, Excel and Powerpoint files contents.
