Hello,

I suggest to apply the following patch, as word 2.x documents
are not very popular anymore, and catdoc knows newer doc formats
and even wri.

I suggest also moving desktop-scripts, extfs, syntax, term
directories and all files in /usr/lib/mc to /usr/share/mc,
as these files are architecture independent.


A problem - with version 4.5.54 I can no longer view rpm files.
I get red empty dialog box:
"Could not parse:"

Then I press enter 3 times and get rpm listing, then press enter
on CONTENTS.cpio, and I see in command line:
mv: cannot stat `CONTENTS.cpio': No such file or directory

Regards,
Nerijus
