R-131: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office (932554)

OPTIONS

       -l      list known charsets and exit successfully

       -bstring
	       slides break string. This string (by default - formfeed) would be output at the end of each slide page.

       -dcharset`
	       -  specifies  destination  charset  name.  Charset file has format described in CHARACTER SETS section of catdoc(1) manual page. By
