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.

Word-11 will be tricky. I?m not aware of anyone having the media for that. ALL-IN-1 is
easy, if you?re running it, you can export as a MS compatible doc.

Someone (?) with Word11 and terminal software installed on a Rainbow could download them,
open, convert and upload in asci or other usable format? Or is that easier said than
done.
