subject: Re: CV for MS-Word 6.0

I found myself with a Word for Windows 6.0 document that I had to
get into readable form; and the only way I could do it was by using
the Word document viewer available via www/ftp from Microsoft then
"printing" it to a flat file, using the Generic printer driver in
Windows.  Mickeysoft has a conversion program to get files from WP
format to Word format, but not to go the other way.  Corel doesn't
seem to have anything other than whatever's included in the current
version of WPW.
I checked Corel's ftp site last night and found the 61TO51 archive
on it, but I didn't find that of the additional conversion drivers
for the cv.exe that was originally included with WPD 5.1+, nor is
there any indication of the then-impending Convertperfect 2.0 the
61T051 refers to on the web site.  (There's a problem with the www
link to the ftp site, so you have to go to it directly.)  The only
DOS WordPerfect product shown on the web site is WPD 5.1+, BTW --
no indication whatsoever of any WPD 6.* version.
[I also learned I'd recently purchased current versions of Quattro
Pro (6.0) and DrawPerfect (3.0) for Windows for $15 each at Office
Depot, found in a collection of special purchases and closeouts on
a recent visit .]
