function (which reads in a text document) with a well-defined
signature, but can access passed over arguments (e.g., options to
antiword) via lexical scoping.

installed and accessible on your system. This can convert documents
from Microsoft Word version 2, 6, 7, 97, 2000, 2002 and 2003 to plain
text, and is available from http://www.winfield.demon.nl/.
