- Allan,
-
- My understanding is that the conversion system to be provided will
- work both ways, both to import and export the alternate file formats.
- I haven't seen the module yet, but have worked with WFW itself for
- several years.
-
- I haven't consulted my local entrails reader, but my sources tell me
- the disks are in duplication and preliminary documentation was due back
- from the press earlier this week. Hewever, recent news stories about
- Postal Service performance temper my expectations of when anything
- will land in my mailbox...
