Re: conversion filters

Fred: this is odd. I've used the rich text filters to
convert xy4Dos files, 7,000 to 9,000 words at a clip. I
can't remember who on the list sent me the filters, but they
didn't all come with my xy4dos--I seem to remember that #17
and #49 had been missing. See my offer, below, to Bill.

Bill: If you don't get a response from one of the experts, I
can try to send you my filter files. Let me know.

Bill --

I bought XY4 mostly for the conversion filters.
Unfortunately, while
they are fairly good converting from another word
processor's format
into XY3 or 4, they are hopeless converting in the opposite
direction.
Typical output was one line per page. Altho the text itself
was
accurate, the recipient (typically my staff) went nuts
trying to deal
with the one line per page output. I ended up purchasing a
good
stand-alone conversion filter programme, which has also
been licensed by some of the word processor producers.

I get reasonably good results using the filters that came
with Lotus'
WordPro, which was packaged with one of my computers. If
you
would like a contact for my stand-alone, write to me at
fredric.gross@xxxxxxxx.

   Subject: conversion filters

   Is there somewhere I can download a few of the
conversion filters that
   work
   with Xy4? I think if I just had to and from rtf I'd be
OK. I find myself
   having to work with Word 2000. I find I really don't
like composing
   text in
   MS Word. That white screen shining out at you and
giving you
   eyestrain,
   that those scrawny little letters -- ugh!
