I need to read a 3.5" DOS floppy with WordStar 5.0 and Lotus files on
it.  I'd like to be able to convert them to Word 4.0 and Execl.  I
read that Dataviz has some translation programs, but I don't really
want to buy the whole $159 cable set-up, I just need the translators.

Does anybody know of a simple way to handle this?  I also heard that
there is an init (DOS Monitor) which converts Lotus to Excel; has
anybody had any luck with this init?  Is there one which converts WS
to Word?

Thanks,
