[comp.sys.mac] Wordstar -> mac

mfi@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Mark Interrante) (05/19/88)

My wife has ehr thesis on wordstar on the pc and she is trying to move it
over to the mac.  Wordstar has a file format called DCA, is there a program
on the mac that can read it?  Does anyone know of a good way to accompilsh
this transfer??
					  Thanks.

  I think Word reads/writes DCA format.  As far as transfering goes, find 
a store that has a Dayna File set up, it reads/writes MS-Dos disks from the
finder so the transfer process is very pain-less.

  I know that WriteNow supports DCA, as probably does Microsoft Word and 
WordPerfect on the Mac.  The easiest ways are through a modem link or 
through an IBM drive on your mac.
