Antiword uses the environment variable ``HOME'' to findthe user's home directory. When in text mode it uses the variable ``COLUMNS''to set the width of the output (unless overridden by the -w option).Antiword uses the environment variables ``LC_ALL'', ``LC_CTYPE'' and ``LANG''(in that order) to get the current locale and uses this information toselect the default mapping file..SH BUGSAntiword is far from complete.
