I am considering using Perfectspot
(http://libwpg.sourceforge.net/perfectspot.htm) to try to convert old
wpg files to odg. Has anybody tried it? I am at a loss even to install
it. It downloads a zip file that contains a bin folder with 2 dll files
and I don't know what to do with them.
I've never used this software, but... I took a look at the SourceForge
link you provided, and I'd say if all you're seeing is a couple of DLL
files, you've downloaded the wrong zip file (ie you've downloaded the
development library, not an application that uses the library).
(I can't actually find anything called Perfectspot in the list of files)
The docs on how to use the command line wpg2odg converter are found
here: http://libwpg.sourceforge.net/wpg2odg.htm
and following the download links leads you to:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwpg/files/
In that list, the one at the bottom is likely what you're looking for,
labeled "wpg2odg". Click that link and it'll give you a new link
labeled "wpg2odg-0.1.0". Click the new link. Then click and download
the file "wpg2odg-0.1.0.zip".
I can't vouch for how well the converter software works, but that should
at least give you an executable, and the docs required so you can test
it out for yourself.
