Re: WordPerfect file format Was Re: [Freedos-user] Re: Question

2005-03-17 Thread Aitor Santamaría Merino
Hi,
A bit going too far offtopic, but *very* interesting (for me) at the 
same time. Any chance for the Lotus WordPro format? (LWP). After the 
plain and nice format of the Lotus AmiPro files (SAM), WordPro seems to 
have some sort of binary compressed format, that I have seen documented 
nowhere, and no open source drivers at all (for OO, etc)
What about the rest of SmartSuite? (1-2-3, Freelance Graphics, Approach,...)

Corel publishes a WordPefect SDK, it might have the spec or at minimal 
will help in understanding the file format.  You should look at 
libwpd, it is a library (unfortunately uses GSF which is GLIB based) 
for reading Word Perfect files.  (It is used for AbiWord, and 
OpenOffice as well.) It mostly supports WordPerfect 6 through 11, 
though it does have some support for WP 4  5.  See 
http:/libwpd.sourceforge.net for more/better information, their link 
page includes the url for the Corel SDK.
