Hi,
|
||
|
||
Steps to integrate antiword into NetScape 4.73 (should also work with earlier
|
||
versions).
|
||
|
||
Programs that launch from netscape must startup an X window to display their
|
||
output (otherwise output ends up it the bit bucket on your system). I wrote the
|
||
following script to do this for antiword (and saved it as
|
||
"/usr/local/bin/xantiword":
|
||
|
||
#!/bin/csh -f
|
||
setenv FILE $1
|
||
setenv NEWFILE ${FILE}.xantiword
|
||
/usr/local/bin/antiword $FILE >&$NEWFILE
|
||
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -title "$FILE (MS Word)" -e /usr/bsd/more $NEWFILE
|
||
rm -f $NEWFILE
|
||
|
||
The above script works, but may not be the best way to do it. If you come up
|
||
with a more elegant solution, then please let me know.
|
||
|
||
Next you'll have to tell netscape to execute the "/usr/local/bin/xantiword"
|
||
script when word documents are clicked on. The easiest way to do this is to
|
||
change the /usr/local/lib/netscape/mailcap netscape configuration file. For
|
||
SGI version of netscape the following two lines are changed. For other versions
|
||
of netscape, one should find similar lines or will need to add the new lines.
|
||
|
||
Old lines (try to run SoftWindows, which is not installed on my system):
|
||
|
||
application/x-dos_ms_word; /usr/local/lib/netscape/swinexec %s winword; \
|
||
description="Microsoft Word-for-Windows Document";
|
||
application/msword; /usr/local/lib/netscape/swinexec %s winword; \
|
||
description="Microsoft Word-for-Windows Document";
|
||
|
||
New lines (for antiword execution), which replace old lines on my system:
|
||
|
||
application/x-dos_ms_word; /usr/local/bin/xantiword %s; \
|
||
description="Microsoft Word-for-Windows Document";
|
||
application/msword; /usr/local/bin/xantiword %s; \
|
||
description="Microsoft Word-for-Windows Document";
|
||
|
||
These changes can also be made via the netscape preferences, under
|
||
Navigator/Applications, but then the changes would only be for the user that
|
||
changed them. The above change to the mailcap file affects all users, which is
|
||
what you'll usually want.
|
||
|
||
Note that the above file paths may be different for your system. On our linux
|
||
box, a quick search DID NOT show where the mailcap for netscape was stored, but
|
||
I did find one in /etc/mailcap. I don't have time to experiment to see if this
|
||
is the same one that netscape uses.
|
||
|
||
If you have questions then please E-mail me.

Hi,
|
||
|
||
I just discovered a program called "xless". It would actually be easier to use
|
||
than my previous xterm/more solution. To use it change the
|
||
"/usr/local/bin/xantiword" script to:
|
||
|
||
#!/bin/csh -f
|
||
setenv FILE $1
|
||
/usr/local/bin/antiword $FILE | /usr/freeware/bin/xless \
|
||
-title "$FILE (MS Word)" -geometry 100x60
|
||
|
||
Note that one also needs to have xless installed. It can be found on the
|
||
SGI Freeware Feb 1999 (or later) CD-ROM.

Hi!
|
||
|
||
Another way to integrate antiword into netscape is to copy the following
|
||
line in your .mailcap file :
|
||
|
||
application/msword; ns="%s"\; nf="${ns}".ps\; antiword -pa4 "${ns}" >
|
||
"${nf}"\; gv "${nf}"\; sleep 2 \; rm "${nf}"
|
||
|
||

||
In order to view the file into netscape you can write the xantiword file
|
||
like this:
|
||
|
||
#!/bin/csh -f
|
||
setenv FILE $1
|
||
setenv NEWFILE ${FILE}.xantiword
|
||
/usr/local/bin/antiword $FILE >&$NEWFILE
|
||
netscape -remote 'openFile('$NEWFILE')'
|
||
|
||

I include a script for netscape to see the document with ghostview.
|
||
|
||
#!/bin/csh -f
|
||
setenv FILE $1
|
||
setenv NEWFILE ${FILE}.xantiword
|
||
/usr/local/bin/antiword -pa4 $FILE >&$NEWFILE
|
||
/usr/X11R6/bin/gv $NEWFILE
|
||
rm -f $NEWFILE
|
||
|
||
In netscape the application must be called like that
|
||
"/usr/local/bin/xantiword %s"
|
||
|
||
This is just a small change(done by Roger Luechinger) to the xantiword
|
||
you included in the distribution 0.31
|
||
|
||
Thanks
