textproc/catdoc 0.95 NetBSD

catdoc behaves much like cat(1) but reads MS-Word file and produces human-readable text on standard output. Optionally it can use latex(1) escape sequences for characters which have special meaning for LaTeX. It also makes some effort to recognize MS-Word tables, although it never tries to write correct headers for LaTeX tabular environment.

This package also includes catppt and xls2csv. The catppt utility reads MS-PowerPoint presentations and outputs its content to stdout. The xls2csv utility reads MS-Excel spreadsheets and outputs its content as comma-separated values to stdout. Numbers are printed without delimiters and strings are enclosed in the double quotes. Double-quotes inside string are doubled.
