Those are the ones you want; but you also need the corresponding XyWrite
filters of the *same* (1996) *vintage*. Actually, you only need one from each
set, since these are one-way conversions: W4W17F.EXE (XyWrite "From" filter,
81965 bytes, dated 5/14/96) and the abovementioned W4W49T.EXE (DinkyLimp Word
"To" filter). Follow the instructions in that "Freestanding Use" document, and
you'll be done. You'll get a more thorough conversion of formatting than via
other methods, except perhaps the NBWin method (I admit, I haven't compared W4W
and NBWin directly, but I tried RTF and IMO it wasn't as good as W4W). The Word
that I've got, from an Office XP Suite CD, auto-recognizes the output as Word v6
format, and auto-converts to whatever the latest TinyDetumescent format is (v9?)
