Hi'ya Folks,
I got a question that maybe some folks in this echo can answer.
Back in the old days before I got Wordperfect 5.1 a friend had
given me a utility called PCMCVT.COM (Version 1.0 1993) to use
whenever I came across any files which had been saved in
Wordperfect 5.1 format.  What the utility did was to strip out
all the code from the WP 5.1 file and leave only the dos text.
Well, the years have come and gone and now files are accessable
via the internet.
One day I found myself looking for a document on the web when,
after quite a search, I finally found what I was looking for...sorta.
At the web site I located the document which I could download was
available in two formats: (1) PDF file format or (2) Wordperfect
6.1 format.
Well, after seeing what my options were I wasn't too happy being
as I didn't have WP 6.1.   I did download the WP 6.1 version
document but couldn't use it being as my version of WP couldn't
open up this newer WP file. I didn't have WP6.1 at the time so I
sent the file over to a friend of mine who did have the program.
He converted the document over to dos text format for me and sent
it back.
Now, what I was wondering was if anyone knows of any utilities
(which do not come with WordPerfect) which will strip the code
out of the newer WordPerfect file format OR which will convert
Wordperfect docs to dos text file format?
I don't know why the site at which I was at didn't make the
files available in dos text (or ascii text) file format for
there are a lot of people who don't have the WordPerfect program.
In any event, if anyone knows of any BBS's or Interent web sites
which have utilities which will convert WordPerfect saved files
to dos or ascii text file format I'd appreciate it if they would
let me know where these sites are located at.
Thanks in advance,
Les
