I'm posting this for a friend, meth@csd2.nyu.edu: I have a friend who works for a company whose work includes writing many documents. They have until now been doing their word processing using a product called WORD-11 version 4.2, on a VAX 11/730 running VMS 5.0. They are in the process of phasing out their VAX & are doing all their work on PC's. They wish to write future documents in WordPerfect, under PC-DOS. Their current documents may be needed in the future. However, they wish to convert documents from WORD-11 to WordPerfect only as necessary, as they have quite a large store of written documents, some of which will be needed in the future, others which are there just for archive purposes. Their proposed plan is to download *all* their documents (perhaps a few tapes full) onto cartridges that can be accessed by their PC's. The downloading will be done using Kermit, which exists on their VAX & on their PC's. Then, as necessary, run a conversion program against the needed document, which will convert from WORD-11 format to WordPerfect format. They are looking for some reasonably priced product on the market that will perform such a conversion. Any pointers to available software &/or company that sells such a product would be most appreciated.

DPD, the makers of Word-11, also sell a product called CROSSWORD which will convert from Word-11 (V3x or V4x) to Wordstart, Wordperfect and a couple of other formats. Also vice-versa. It runs on the VAX side, and after the conversion one can move the files to a PC using Kermit or whatever. We use the product occaisionally, and it performs satisfactory.

Conversion would not be necessary with this relatively new product (assuming the company is happy with WORD-11, and their PC hardware is at least at the minimum required configuration). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sender: Jonathan Ridler Organization: The University of Melbourne.
