[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Brother WP1 -> ASCII

gerhard@cs.arizona.edu (Gerhard Mehldau) (10/19/90)

Hi all,

  I have a problem that I hope someone here can help me solve.

  My father mailed me a 3.5" DSDD floppy disk that he says was
formatted to 116K and written by a Brother WP1 word processor.
He would like to transfer the data from this disk (and about
40 others of the same kind) to a 286 clone running MS Windows.

  He contacted Brother (in Germany), but was told that they
would not provide any assistance - not even for transfering
the data to their very own successor model.  Needless to say,
he won't be buying any Brother products anytime soon :-(.

  So, my question is:  Does anyone know how to do this, or
know of some software that can do it?  In the absence of this,
does anyone have an email address or a phone number for Brother's
Tech. Support (in the U.S.)?  Any help would be appreciated!

- Gerhard

P.S.  Please respond via email, as I don't normally read
      this newsgroup.
