Windows version of Antiword 0.36 (16 Oct 2004)

Note: Locale support is currently broken for Cygwin, cf. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg01705.html. A known workaround is to use Xlocale.h instead of locale.h, but this unfortunately doesn't work for the standalone version as a call to setlocale() will hang.
Therefore, if you need locale support, either rebuild Antiword using Cygwin with the patches provided below--or, better yet, send me a working patch...

Here you find a Windows version of Antiword written by Adri van Os.

antiword-0_36-windows.zip contains the ready-to-use binary along with the needed mapping files, to be unzipped into a directory of your choice (be sure to read the enclosed file 00README.WIN)
antiword-0.36-cygwin-patches.tar.gz contains the modifications needed to compile the programmers' version (to be found on Adri's page) yourself using a current release of the Cygwin UNIX environment.

Please note that you do not need the forementioned environment in order to run the provided binary as it uses "Windows-native" libraries only.
If you encounter any platform-dependent problems with this version, please let me know. I will then try to fix them as soon as possible.

And just in case I goofed up something, you'll now find older revisions (starting with 0.34) in the subdirectory outdated/.
