Is Word-11 available for the Rainbow? A few years back, I *think* there was a discussion of converting Word-11 files from a RSTS/E system. I just can’t remember any specific’s, or even if it was on this list. In digging some more WordPerfect v5.3 for VMS can handle converting WPS-Plus documents. I don’t know if Corel will still sell it. I’m still trying to remember how to convert them in ALL-IN-1. Years ago, there was a program for the Mac that would convert a TON of different file formats. Trying to figure out what that was, I found this. I’m half tempted to buy a license, even though I don’t need it. It would work on the XP VM I have to keep around to drive a film scanner. I don’t see support for Word-11, but it does support MASS-11. http://file-convert.com/flmn.htm#fmn_sf Zane
