MacLinkPlus by DataVis, is a preaty good transfer/translation
program for Mac <--> IBM file transfers.  It has software for
both the IBM and Mac that lets it transfer at 56700 baud over
a direct serial connection, and at slower speeds over modems.

The translation takes place on the Mac.  It includes translators
for most common IBM and Mac packages (unfortunely I think it only
supports version 4.2 not 5.0 of WordPerfect, but you can save
5.0 documents in a 4.2 format).  The translators are compatible
with Apple's "Apple file Exchange".
