[comp.sys.misc] Reading Wang Data

gaspar@almsa-1.arpa (02/16/87)

We have a large amount of word processing data stored on 8" Wang
OIS 140 floppies.  We want to upload this data (while still in Wang
format) to one of our UNIX machines in order to dump it to 9 track 
tape.  (We want to send it out for conversion.)

When we use the Wang communications software, it only seems to send
out print image files.  We were wondering if there might be a public
domain program available that would allow us to read the Wang floppies
with an IBM PC (we have Zeniths that are AT compatible).  We could then
upload the data from the PC over our LAN to a UNIX machine.  Does
anyone have any ideas that might help?  Is there a better approach?

I don't subscribe to any of these lists; so please reply to me 
directly.

Thanks--
