  Just for general info, there's a wonderful Shareware editor called
Textplus (Fish 480) that allows to do this kind of conversion and even
edit Powerpacker compressed text files (usually read with ppmore). It
is a real Wordprocessor and includes a printer configuration a la
Word Perfect (not as sophisticated, though). And many, many more very
pleasant features.
