We are trying to find out what a "Word Perfect" file looks like. If anyone knows or knows of a book describing this I would appreciate hearing about it. I have called WP about this, they gave me an address to write to which I will be doing shortly. Thank you in advance -- Jack McGillis ...!trwrb!trwspp!spp2!mcgillis

WordPerfect Corp. will have you sign a non-disclosure agreement, in return for which you'll get 5 or 6 photocopied pages. -- Melinda Shore ..!hao!oddjob!sphinx!shor Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center shore@morgul.psc.edu

Wordperfect uses a very simple file structure. Plain ASCII with specific codes added to turn on and off the features. If you need to check it out before buying a book etc, try making a document with one sentence per feature and then inspect it with Norton utilities.
