Hi,
I encountered a rather nasty problem. When my PC was upgraded from DOS to 
Windows, I had to change from the good old WPDOS 5.1 to WPWIN 5.2. Not to 
mention a different user interface, the macro's I developed, roughly 150, do 
not work any more. That's why the problem is nasty.
Our local helpdesk didn't know a sophisticated method how to convert the 
WPDOS 5.1 macro's into WPWIN 5.2 macro's: "We've typed them all over again". 
The web site for Wordperfect did not give a clue. The (Internet) support for 
WP 5 seems to be vapourized: "version 5 is no longer supported, we suggest 
upgrading to version ...".
So my question is: Is anyone of you familiar with a tool which converts *.wpm 
into *.wcm, a wpm2wcm.exe? Where can it be found or purchased?
If such a tool does not exist, do you know whether documentation is available 
which allows for decoding the *.wpm files and encoding them into *.wcm?
73 es cuagn,
 Henk

Subj: R: macro conversion WPDOS 5.

When Henk enlightened All  about macro conversion WPDOS 5.

That's hard to believe.  Why did you "change from the good old WPDOS 5.1 
to WPWIN 5.2?"  WP5.1 runs just fine under Windows.  Did someone force 
you to make the change?  If so, why did they make you change to such an 
OLD version os WP for Windows?  Sounds like there are some misguided 
support people there.

Hd>Our local helpdesk didn't know a sophisticated method how

Perhaps because DOS macros are a PUSH concept while Windows requires a 
PULL approach.  By that I mean that in DOS you perform an action that 
PUSHes WPDOS to do what you want.  In Windows it is tell WPWIN what the 
results you want are, and WPWIN will pull the program along.  Makes it 
virtually impossible to have macro conversions that are a simple 
transition.

Hd>The (Internet) support for WP 5 seems to be vapourized:

I'm sure there are some, but I have questions as to how complete they 
could be.

Subj: Help - info

Hi, I would like to know if anyone out there would have or know where
I could get a macro that will produce a calendar, month by month that
will show appoints., etc. that could be entered in the calendar and
printed up so it could be used as a monthly schedule for groups or
organizations.
The version I'm running is 5.1  Wordperfect.
Thank you in advance
