Hello managers,
i've asked:
>does such a beast exit: a viewer for MS Word documents under DU-4.0B ?
and got 2 answers, both negative.
My thanks to
"Sean O'Connell" <sean_at_stat.Duke.EDU> and
Jean-Loup.Risler_at_genetique.uvsq.fr
So there are several other possibilities to try to view Word documents:
-> use ftp and a PC nearby
-> install an emulation for DOS/Windows... like "SoftWindows" from Insignia
(and pay the money for it)
-> try your luck with something like
strings file.doc | more
-> or look inside WordPerfect for DU (if you have it) whether there is
an option to read MS Word documents. (We don't have it...)
For us the first seems to be the best solution.
With regards,
Bernt Christandl
