FWIW, my copy of Word for Word (v. 7.0) has filters for the following:
MultiMate 3.4
MultiMate 4
MultiMate Advantage I
MultiMate Advantage II
If the content of the files is not sensitive (not that I'd look at them anyway), I'd be willing to
do a batch conversion of files sent to me on disk or whatever. WfW conversions often result in a lot
of extra extraneous formatting triangles in XyWrite, but those are easily stripped out; doing a
conversion would at the very least ensure that you preserve attributes like italics and bold.
