Oh dear, I forgot to include install/compile instructions (although, I see
that you managed to compile it anyway).  For anyone else who is interested,
all you have to do is:

1. cd <kofficedirectory>/filters/kword/
2. tar zxvf mswrite-0.1-2001-10-07.tar.gz
3. add "mswrite" to "SUBDIRS = ascii applixword html docbook latex abiword
rtf"
in <kofficedirectory>/filters/kword/Makefile.am
4. ./configure the whole koffice again and then compile

i.e. follow the instructions on the filter FAQ :)

Okay.

It's a pleasure :) - it's really cool viewing mswrite documents in
Konqueror!

Will do.

Thanks!
