Re: Converting old Word Perfect Files

[Len Pikulski <lenp@nothinbut.net>]

I had kind of a similar issue on an Apple converting documents from 
an old "green screen apple Model ?? to word for Macintosh.
The Macintosh couldn't even read the diskette.

We wound up finding a working old apple firing up the "old" machine,
saving the files as text only, finding a modem and software to work
on the old apple, then uploading the text files to a BBS then
downloading them to the Macintosh.

A really LONG winded way of doing it but it worked when others said
it couldn't be done.
