Apple bundle a conversion utility called Apple File Exchange
with the new System (5.0 or 5.1, I think)... this offers a means
of translating other word-processing formats to and from the likes
of MacWrite and Word.  a translation script is provided to handle
conversion to/from ibm's DCA-RTF format;  the manual says that other
scripts, including one for translating WordStar, are commercially
available.  i haven't got the manual here, but it does give the
address of a company in the US offering one for dealing with WordStar.
I'll post the details when i have them.
