The Rainbow ran WPS-80 (CP/M) and there was a WPS-PC from Exceptional
Business Solutions. I don't think there was any DEC produced WPS-alike for
the Rainbow...
Exceptional Business Solutions doesn't show up on the web... I wish they
were available 'cause I'd love to convince them to Open Source the dead
product so I could try to get it running on Linux.

do a format conversion at the same time.
I believe that there is also a version of WPS for the Rainbow, called
WPS-16. IIRC, it had a conversion function from WPS-Plus RX-50
diskettes to WPS-16. And, if my memory isn't failing me, it wasn't a
DEC product.
