- Hi.
- I might be having the wrong newsgroup, or have missed the answer in the FAQ,
- but here's my question:
-
- Are there descriptions of the (native) format of text processors such as:
- WordPerfect, MS Word 4/5, ... for both Macintoshes and PCs? And, if so,
- where can I find them. Any pointer is appreciated (descriptions, sources of
- conversion programs, ...).
-
- My problem is that I am currently setting up a mail service for Dutch spell
- checking (including (real) grammar checking). Everybody likes the idea but
- hates to save their files in ASCII (without line breaks and hyphenation). I
- already have got something that seems to work with WP 5.1 files (I derived it
- from an wp2latex.pas source).

- Ciao,
