Hi!

In the last days I started to implement support for Word .doc files, older 
than version 8 (i.e. Word 97). Simple Word 6 and Word 7 (== Word 95) are 
imported correctly, but right now all documents containing headers and/or 
footers crash.

I'm sure there are more such bugs. Nonetheless I'd like to get some feedback 
from people having such old .doc files around. I'm particularly interested in 
files causing a crash or files which are rendered incorrectly. Note that 
KWord still has problems with tables and footnotes, so in some cases an 
incorrectly rendered document won't be my fault :-)

Unfortunately the anonymous Sourceforge CVS doesn't update from the main CVS 
right now, so if you check out wv2 tonight you'll get a buggy version. If 
this isn't fixed tomorrow I'll put a snapshot on my homepage.

Ciao,
Werner

P.S. For all version junkies out there: Yes, it compiles with gcc 3.4 ;-)
