- From the FAQ.

- wordperfect - wp2latex.zip is available on wuarchive.wustl.edu
- (128.252.135.4) in the directory ./mirrors/msdos/tex and on
- wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74) in the directory pd1:<msdos.tex>.
- This is a PC program written in Turbo Pascal by R. C. Houtepen at
- the Eindhoven University in the Netherlands. It converts
- WordPerfect 5.0 documents to LaTeX. Pascal source is included.
- Users find it ``helpful'' and ``decent'' in spite of some
- limitations. It gets high marks for handling font changes.
- Limitations include no indices, table of contents, margins or
- graphics. It also won't handle the new features of WordPerfect
- 5.1, in particular the equation formatter. The program is
- copyrighted but free.

- Glenn Geers of the University of Sydney (glenn@qed.physics.su.oz.au)
- is translating wp2latex into C and adding some WordPerfect 5.1
- features, in particular its equation handling. This is an ongoing
- project; the most recent version can be retrieved via anonymous ftp
- from suphys.physics.su.oz.au (129.78.129.1) in ./wp2latex. It is
- also available by anonymous ftp from ymir.claremont.edu
- (134.173.4.23) in the directory
- [anonymous.tex.ibm_pc.front_ends.wp2latex]. It was posted to
- alt.sources on 8 August 1990.
