Does anyone know where I can get a PD program to directly import either Pen
Pal or Excellence! 2.0 files into Pro Page 1.3?

I read somewhere about a program to do this (called "ex2pro" or something?)
but I cannot seem to find the reference or a program with a name like that
at the usual FTP sites I browse.

I don't want to just import the files as "plain" ascii, but would like to 
keep the style info (bold, italic, underline, etc), if possible.

I have Pro Page 1.3, but it does not directly support either of the word
processors I have (Pen Pal and Excellence).  If I can ever get enough cash
together to upgrade to Pro Page 2.0, I'll do that and just use the included
word processor, but until then I'm not content with just importing plain
ascii files into Pro Page.

The other option is to "embedd" the codes with backslashes, but that is not
really satisfactory, either.

Any suggestions out there? (Besides "Get WordPerfect!" :-)
