I have a WordProcessor which needs to become the default editor for ALLIN1. DEC says that this is impossible, but it is actually carefully provided for by the designers of ALLIN1. I have accomplished the following: Created a new text type for the documents produced for the editor. Caused the editor to be called from a shareable RTL by AllIN1 whenever editing is called for (by a user who has specified the alternate editing style in his user profile). I also know how to make the editor save to or retrieve from foreign (WPSPLUS,EDT,WPS,etc.) document formats and do an automatic conversion of the various word processing attributes from the ALLIN1 intermediate format to and from the editor's format. I need one final link: There is a slot in OAET.MAR for a conversion routine to convert to/from this editor's format into the intermediate ALLIN1 format to provide the intermediate format to other applications or conversion facilities when they encounter a document produced by this editor. I know that I can eventually reverse-hack out the protocol required by this routine, and the information block passed to it, but if anyone has written such routines before or seen documentation on the call to the convert routine listed in OAET,MAR which they could provide me with, or tell me how to get, it would be greatly appreciated. I do not have regular access to this account, but if someone could publicly post the information, I'm sure it would be appreciated by others as well. Or publish a name or phone number and I will contact you. Thanks.
