I make the bulk of my living converting documents in WordPerfect 5 and
up, IBM DCF and Bookmaster, and Interleaf to current formats.
Is anyone interested in hearing a bit about the problems using current
word processors to import the old formats? It's sort of on-topic, as
these are vintage products, even if still in use, but I won't bother
the list if it's not of interest.

Well, I'm always interested in format conversion issues, whether it's disk images
or not. I can't speak for everyone else.

I didn't know there was any non-magical way to convert Bookmanager to PDF.
Are you saying you can do that?

I certainly am, since I have and have access to a bunch of Bookmanager doc
that is worthless on PCs although I love it on mainframes.
