WordSmith on Linux/Intel
Since Linux does not support a standard HotSync conduit API, such as the one available under
Windows and MacOS, we are not currently able to offer conduit support for Linux.
Nonetheless, we have provided a shell-based conversion application called
wsconv
for converting to
and from RTF documents. If you are looking for a high-quality and free word-processor for Linux
that is able to read and write RTF files, we recommend AbiWord (
http://www.abiword.com
).
Please note:
1.
The application currently only converts to and from RTF files. It will not convert a source
document that is not RTF. If you wish to do so, we recommend using makedoc or a similar
utility.
2.
The application was compiled under RedHat Linux/Intel 6.0 and should work with any later
release of RedHat Linux.
3.
Source code for the application is not available at this time. If you are using a different
Linux distribution or a UNIX variant and are not able to run the conversion application,
please contact
.
Usage:
Using wsconv under Linux is similar to that under Windows. Please refer to the description above.
