I need a description of the most common file formats for word-processing software on the Mac. The reason is that I am writing a spelling checker for Icelandic. Currently it can only handle plain ASCII files, but I need to be able to handle most file formats. I have a description of the original MacWrite format, but I really need information about the file format the new version uses. I also have information on Microsoft Word file format for the PC, but I need to know in what ways the Mac format is different. I have all the information I need on the format Word Perfect uses. They have been very helpful (Thank you, Word Perfect). I need information on Microsoft Works format (And need it badly, since it is the most popular program here in Iceland) Also, information on other formats would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to me directly instead of using a follow-up, since I do not normally read this newsgroup. -- Fridrik Skulason University of Iceland frisk@rhi.hi.is Guvf yvar vagragvbanyyl yrsg oynax .................
