No. Antiword is a file viewer, not a driver layer. > The NDIS wrapper issue has nothing to do with the fact that there is no > NDIS driver in main. Indeed. It has with the fact there is no reasonable use of ndiswrapper that doesn't imply installing (and running) non-free software on the host machine. The key here is "reasonable". This is a practical case, not something to build up theories on fantasmatic uses that don't have any kind of possible application. -- .''`.
