antiword delegation...

Hi all,

My apologies if you get this twice, I seem to
have sent my previous post to an obsolete address.

I have a question about how to delegate an MS Word
document to antiword (http://www.winfield.demon.nl/index.html)

For example:

antiword file.doc

will create a plain ascii version of the original document
and send it to stdout. 

Following the Lynx example:

Delegation: Lynx html:ps      \
       lynx -force_html -nolist -dump $f \
       | #{a2ps} --delegate=no --stdin=$f

I would assume that I must add something like the following
into a2ps.cfg:

Delegation: Antiword ???:ps      \
       antiword $f \
       | #{a2ps} --delegate=no --stdin=$f

My question is, what should "???" be? Is it "???" which
determines which delegation to use? It's not clear to me
how a2ps knows what delegation to use :)

Any help appreciated...

Cheers!

PS. I'm using a2ps 4.13.
