- Marc, the CONVERT program that comes with WordPerfect will convert programs
- from WP4.2 to 5.1. WordPerfect itself will save in 5.1, 5.0 or 4.2 format.
- Programs like MultiDOS will allow you to transfer you Amiga formatted files
- to IBM compatible format (remember WP files are binary not text).

- I seem to recall when I did this years ago that I had no problem going back
- and forth between MS-DOS WP 4.2 at work and Amiga WP 4.1 at home - now I
- just use WP 5.1 on the Bridgeboard. Good luck.
