[net.micro.pc] WordPerfect Question/Problem

I am using an old version of Word Perfect, about 3.0 or 3.1.
I need to export plain ASCII files.  It seems to work if the
Word Perfect document does not have footnotes, but if it
has footnotes, it just ignores them.  Am I doing something
wrong?  Or does anyone have a utility or know of a utility
to do the conversion?  I don't really care what the text
ends up looking like, just so that it is all present, with
no special characters.  Thanks in advance.

If you print to a disk files using the plain or print-to-disk printer driver,
all of your text, including the footnotes, will be in that file.
Unfortunately, you will have CR/LFs at the end of each line, but such is life.
