Stone Design has released DOCtor, a file translator for Macs. DOCtor is designed to allows users the ability to change original Word documents into PostScript and PDF files. DOCtor is OS X ready. According to Stone Design:

Stone Design today announced the online availibility of DOCtor for Mac OS X.

If people email you a Word document (.doc or .DOC) and you donit have Microsoft "Word," itis a pain

DOCtor translates these files into PostScript - and, if you have Stone Designis PStill™ distillery installed (itis one of 7 apps in the Stone Studio™), automatically converts it further into Mac OS X friendy PDF.

DOCtor is distributed under the GNU Public License, and is based on the GPL effort antiword by Adri van OS.

You can find more information about DOCtor at the Stone Design Web site. DOCtor is available freeware.
