Lines: 16 One simple solution, possibly not the cheapest though is to use the Central Point Option Board Deluxe. The cost is between $90 to $100. You can save your document in ascii format, and the board will format a disk in Mac format. It will then port the ascii file in whichever direction that you need. According to the folks at Wordperfect, you can use the IBM version 5, and the Apple version 1a of WordPerfect and transfer the data files directly. I haven't done this successfully (but in all fairness I haven't devoted even minimal effort to the project). The ascii transfer works simply and quickly. The board performs well. Good luck. --Ken Gordon (kgordon@pilot.njin.net) Standard Disclaimers: I have no financial (or even personal) interest in Central Point, or WordPerfect. I just own and use thier products.
