       [-d dir] [--dir dir] filename

DESCRIPTION

       wvWare converts word documents into other formats such as PS,PDF,HTML,LaTeX,DVI,ABW

   OPTIONS
       -c charset, --charset charset
              word 97 documents are stored in one of two formats, either in 8 bit windows codepages or in 16 bit
              unicode. The unicode can be converted easily into utf-8, and the codepages are promoted to unicode
              and converted from there, except for the western european codepage which is  always  converted  to
              iso-5589-15 if possible. This is the default behaviour. While it is possible to convert into other
              formats or to force a conversion to a particular format, it is not recommended as you don't get  a
              guarantee  that  the output will be correct. For instance, if you convert an English document into
              koi8-r encoding then it will be wrong, but if you are sure  then  you  can  override  the  default
              output format. The charsets that are available depend on your system: systems using the gnu libc 2
              and above can convert to just about anything; systems that at, wv  configure  time,  prove  to  be
              inadequate for charset conversion use wv's internal conversion formats which are a small subset of
              the possible conversions, namely: utf-8 iso-5589-15 koi8-r tis-620

       -p password, --password password
              Due to heroic work done by a great team of workers, the wv library can decrypt password  protected
              word 97 and older versions of word documents given the correct password.

       -d dir, --dir dir
              If  dir  is  used  then  any created graphics will be placed in this directory. The default is the
              directory in which the word document resides.

       -b name, --basename name
              Use name as the base name for image files.

       -a format, --auto-eps format
              Depending on whether images  of  type  format  can  be  automatically  converted  to  encapsulated
              PostScript,  print  "yes"  or  "no"  and  exit.   Encapsulated  PostScript  is required for LaTeX,
              PostScript, and PDF output.  Currently possible values for format are "wmf", "png", and "jpg".

       -s format, --suppress format
              Suppress automatic conversion of images of type  format  to  encapsulated  PostScript.   Currently
              possible values for format are "wmf", "emf", "png", "jpg", and "pict".

       -1, --nographics
              Suppress output of embedded images.

       -x config.xml, --config config.xml
              Use  this to give the location of the config file. If not used, the config file is searched for by
              first  checking  the  current  directory,  and  then  by   looking   in   the   install   location
              (/usr/local/lib/wv/wvHtml.xml by default)

       -X, --xml
              Produce XHTML-like XML output (as defined in /usr/local/lib/wv/wvXml.xml).

       -v, --version
              Print wvWare's version number and exit.

       -?, --help
              Print a help message and exit.
