[comp.sys.apple] Transferring WP files between systems

TMPLee@DOCKMASTER.NCSC.MIL (07/03/89)

I transfer WordPerfect files between an IBM 4.2 format and WordPerfect
GS format on at least a weekly basis, via a Sun unix system in between
even.  The main trick is making sure that you save them as file type $A0
when you transfer them with kermit; I think you also have to tel the Sun
to treat them as binary but I don't remember if it works without doing
so.  4.2 has a few features not yet implemented in WP IIGS; some get
simply ignored by WP IIGS if they happen to be there, others cause it to
hang.  WordPerfect says at least they shouldn't cause it to hang and are
working on the problem.
