Welcome! Please read this information.

This is Gerben Wierda's experimental binary distribution of wvWare for Mac OS X. wvWare is a Microsoft Word converter.

Most of what wvWare does seems to go through TeX. E.g. wvPDF uses wvPS which uses wvDVI and TeX's dvips. wvDVI uses wvLatex. hence, it is clear that one needs an install of TeX for most of wvWare to work. It is unclear to me what else is needed. If people tell me, I'll add the packages to the dependencies list.

For information on i-Installer.app packages, see the i-Installer.app Help function. Especially read about the risks of installing software from the net and how you can inspect the contents of your package.
