My version of Wordperfect (4.1) came with a program called 'convert.exe'
which will convert any of the following formats to an other:

1) WordPerfect
2) Revisable-Form-Text (DCA - IBM Mainframe DISOSS Format)
3) Navy DIF database
4) Wordstar
5) MultiMate
6) 7-bit transfer format
7) Mail Merge
8) WordPerfect second file
9) Spreadsheet DIF

Don't asked me what some of these formats are or how much is converted. I
never used the program.
