There's a company in California (Exceptional Business Solutions, or something
like that) that has a word processor called "WPS-PC" which also has the
DEC dx protocol file transfer built in.  This will take the WPS-8 word
processing files and tranfer them to the PC -- keeping the formatting intact.

Also, they'll translate it to straight DOS ascii from their WPS-PC format
from within WPS-PC.
