      With any luck, I'll be (finally) getting my hands on an A2000 sometime    within the next 2 months.  Right now I have a C128 (which, by the way, is for   sale, if anybody's interested).  I just recently bought The Write Stuff and     converted most of the files from my older word processor to WS format.  My      question is this:  is there any way to convert Write Stuff files to files       compatible with any of the popular amiga WP's?  I  know the several 64          "emulators" (ha!) that allow yo






u to read & translate 64 files, but is there any-thing that will translate the various control characters, etc, so that an amiga WP will read it in and display/print it correctly (without having to do major   editing to make it look normal)?
      If not, does anybody know of a c64 or 128 program that will convert files written using various WP's into a plain text file?

      I'm gonna have to (sob!) sell my 128 & equipment to make some amiga-money,but there are a number of things I've written that I'd like to preserve on some-thing other than paper and memory (both, in my case, easy to lose).  
      Thanks.
