I am using Macintosh WordPerfect 1.0.5, and having trouble converting documents between it and PC WordPerfect. 1) Document created in PC WP 4.2. Uploaded to UNIX and back down to the Mac. Document reads in, but loses line breaks (turn into spaces) and wraparound (no space in between words). 2) Document created in PC WP 5.1. Uploaded to UNIX and back down to the Mac. Document does not read in: alert comes up saying "End of File". 3) Same as (2), but document saved in 5.0 format. Same result. 4) Document created in Mac WP, saved in 5.0 format. Uploaded to UNIX and back down to the PC. Document reads in to WP 5.1 but loses everthing past page 3 (of 11 pages). What gets converted is pretty acceptable, but losing pages isn't. Any hints? Should I try converting the files using PC disks and AFX? Is there a problem between PC files being flat and Macintosh files having two forks? Is Mac WP simply deficient and I should use Word for Word or some other converter? Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu

The problem was the I was using kermit and didn't have *both* ends transferring in binary mode. Although I must say Mac WP doesn't do such a wonderful job of converting, even though it does do the conversion... -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu "Was all of this because I wore a big man's hat?"
