[htdig] Re: doc2html --> catdoc

[David A. <D.J...@so...>]

Doc2html.pl  is failing to match the magic number and MIME-type of the files
you are trying to index.

If you are certain that you have set up doc2html.pl correctly then look at
the first few characters of one of your Word documents and see if it matches
the magic number set in doc2html.pl for a Word file.   You can use

    od -c filename | more

to see the first few characters in the file.

doc2html program. My doc2html program works great at converting pdf files.
I am using the appropriate syntax on the command line: "./doc2hmlt.pl
/location to word file application/msword".  I've tried reinstalling
doc2html and it still doesn't work with catdoc.  Do you have any
suggestions?
