I'll push them to the list tomorrow, it's late now. -- You don't need an AI for a robot uprising.

[blfs-support] Ways to convert a .doc to something more civil.
Hi all! Is there a way to convert .doc documents to something else (preferably PDF) WITHOUT using *Office? The thing is that I have moved to new harware, rebuilt most of (B)LFS, but would want to read these bunch of documents without first having to spend the entire weekend hacking OpenOffice. It has been 3 or 4 years since I last built it and I remember it not being a breeze. BTW, this e-mail is not signed because of a mixup with keys when I migrated to the new machine. I'll get them when I get back home for Christmas. I also forgot my SSL certificate files so now I can't really SSL around the net - at least untill I rebuild them. I *really* hope I remembered to bring the PGP keys for various packages I spent years collecting. Have to check that in the morning. -- You don't need an AI for a robot uprising.
