Re converting from XyWrite to Word



Here's the routine I use for converting the currently open XyWrite file
to Word; there's a similar one for WordPerfect. The code is 95 percent
Robert Holmgren's; I just did a little scissors-and-paste work to
automate the writing of the batchfile. It won't work under Xy3, since it
calls a U2 routine and uses some Xy4 commands. Perhaps somebody who uses
Xy3 more than I do can figure out a fix?

To use this, first save the following block of text as xytortf.cod (in
the directory where editor.exe is, assuming that's your default dir);
change the first line to CD to whatever directory/folder you have the
Hungarian filters in:

cd d:\xyhung~1\
@echo off
echo Export XyWrite %1 to Rich Text Format %2
W4W17F.EXE %1 /N /V2
echo WAIT a few seconds for conversion to delete temp files
pause
if exist %2 del %2
W4W19t.EXE %2 /N /V1
echo Done
goto exit
:exit

Then decode this and save as a program file in the same directory as
xytortf.cod. I call it xytortf.pgm (easy to remember).
