A new release with the indexer, and image and document conversion is in the pipeline. It's still awaiting editor approval, but will eventually be found at http://files.eprints.org/300/.

HTML, Word, and Powerpoint
HTML conversion is working using HTML::Parser. I might need to add some code to detect character encodings; we'll see after more testing.
As for Word, there's been a stroke of luck—I found a Windows binary of catdoc, which isn't officially available for Windows. Even better, there's also catppt, so maybe PowerPoint can be converted after all. I'm currently integrating both tools into EPrints plugins.
Update: The EPrints plugins for HTML, Word, and PowerPoint are written and seem to be working.
