I'm posting this for a friend, meth@csd2.nyu.edu:



I have a friend who works for a company whose work includes writing many
documents. They have until now been doing their word processing using a product
called WORD-11 version 4.2, on a VAX 11/730 running VMS 5.0.

They are in the process of phasing out their VAX & are doing all their work on
PC's. They wish to write future documents in WordPerfect, under PC-DOS.

Their current documents may be needed in the future. However, they wish to
convert documents from WORD-11 to WordPerfect only as necessary, as they have
quite a large store of written documents, some of which will be needed in the
future, others which are there just for archive purposes.

Their proposed plan is to download *all* their documents (perhaps a few tapes
full) onto cartridges that can be accessed by their PC's. The downloading will
be done using Kermit, which exists on their VAX & on their PC's. Then, as
necessary, run a conversion program against the needed document, which will
convert from WORD-11 format to WordPerfect format. They are looking for some
reasonably priced product on the market that will perform such a conversion.

Any pointers to available software &/or company that sells such a product would
be most appreciated.
