looking for MS word doc viewer to run on HP-UX

I am needing the ability to view Microsoft Word documents (.doc files) on HP-UX 10.20, and 11.23

A standalone application would be fine.

I am also desiring this ability as a plugin to Mozilla that is running on HP-UX 11.23

Is there anything out there that will open a Word doc on HP-UX?

Wordview can produce html output.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

abiword appears to work on HP-UX, but I have not tried it myself. :)
yesterday I stood at the edge. Today I'm one step ahead.

You can try the Stellent Outside In viewer. It's not free, but evaluations are available. It seems to be some kind of descendant of Quick View Plus which was astounding at its time, but is no longer available on Unix.

Never tried it, can't tell if it actually works.
