## Historique du projet et usages

wv, also known as wvWare and formerly mswordview, is a GPL library and set of command-line utilities for reading and converting legacy Microsoft Word binary documents. Its official homepage says it can load and parse Word 2000, 97, 95, and 6 formats, with limited support for earlier Word 2 documents.

### Historique du projet

The project began as `mswordview`, but the official homepage says that name was uncomfortably close to Microsoft's Word Viewer product, so the library was renamed to wv. Its focus was interoperability with the OLE2-wrapped binary Word formats used before the newer XML-based Office formats became dominant.

wv became part of the free-software office stack around AbiWord. The homepage says wv is used by AbiWord as its Word importer and that KWord developers used concepts and pieces of its code. The SourceForge project summary describes wvWare as the continuation of Caolan McNamara's wv MSWord library, with efforts to improve correctness, robustness, and Word97 export.

### Historique d'adoption

wv spread widely because opening old `.doc` files was a practical need on Unix-like systems. The homepage lists Linux as the main development platform but also mentions BSD, Solaris, OS/2, AIX, OSF/1, and other ports, while GnuWin32 maintained a Windows port. Later, the site itself advised users to prefer AbiWord for many conversion tasks while keeping the wv library as useful document-import infrastructure.

### Modes d'utilisation

The package includes tools such as `wvHtml`, `wvLatex`, `wvText`, `wvPDF`, `wvPS`, `wvAbw`, `wvWml`, and `wvSummary`. Typical package-nerd usage is batch conversion or metadata extraction from old Word binary documents, especially in scripts, mail or browser helper contexts, or archival workflows where a GUI word processor is too heavy.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

wv is historically important because it represents the gritty document-interoperability work that made proprietary binary formats usable from free Unix systems. It matters less as a modern daily document converter and more as a bridge between old Microsoft Word files, command-line conversion pipelines, AbiWord, and archival/package ecosystems that still need to process legacy `.doc` content.

### Chronologie

- Pre-2000s: The project is known as mswordview before being renamed to wv.
- 2005-10-13: wv 1.2.0 is released, switching to libgsf, libxml2, and glib according to the official news notes.
- 2006-03: wv 1.2.1 is released as a minor bugfix release.
- 2010s onward: The upstream site documents the command-line utilities as mostly deprecated in favor of AbiWord, while the wv library remains useful as document-import infrastructure.

### Related projects

- wv is closely related to AbiWord, which used it as a Word importer, and to KWord, whose developers reused concepts and code. It also sits in the same historical niche as Antiword and other command-line tools for extracting text or converting legacy Microsoft Word documents.
