Package: antiword Version: 0.35-1 Severity: normal I created a simply document with OpenOffice.Org 1.1.2 and saved it as a Word document. When I tried to look at it with antiword, I only got the error:
| I'm afraid the text stream of this file is too small to handle. This is both with antiword 0.35 and 0.36.1 and with documents stored with OpenOffice.Org as Word 6.0, Word 95 and Word 97/2000/XP. I tried the file in MS Word 2003 SP1 on Windows XP and it loaded without any problems, so this seems to be a problem in antiword. An example file is attached below. It's a fairly simple file - basically a bullet list with a number of items. (Thanks for antiword, by the way. I'm a text-based user and really appreciate not having to load OOo just to view DOC documents people send to me.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages antiword depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
