Can someone help me with a DBASE - WORDPERFECT transfer?
I need to transfer the content of many memo fields in a database
to ASC format so that I can take them into WORDPERFECT.  While it
is easy to convert .dbf files via the "delimit with" and "type"
commands to ASC, this does not apply to the memo fields. Although
the content of a memofield can be written into an ASC file, this
is cumbersome in a database with several hundred records, each of 
which contain memo fields.  

Does any one know how to convert a .dbt file as a whole into an
ASC file? Or has someone written a program that does just that, moving
from memofield to memofield in a database and placing the content into
one ASC file capable of further editing with a wordprocessor like
WordPerfect?

Any advice is appreciated.   Thanks!
