Re: conversion query

[Norman Bauman nbauman@xxxxxxxx]

WordPerfect 6.1 can convert back and forth to XyWrite 3, and I can send you
the driver, if that's any help.

But when I'm dealing with simple files (and I try to keep my files simple),
I just import and export them as ASCII text files. The word processing
conversion files never convert perfectly, and I have to clean them up
afterwards anyway. WordPerfect translates to tabs where I use indents, etc.
It's easier to clean up after an unformatted ASCII file than to clean up
after WordPerfect's attempt to translate a XyWrite file.
