- I'm looking for Claris Translators for the Claris XTND system. We're using
- ccMail here, which uses the XTND system and comes with a few translators.
- I would like to find out where to get other translators - in particular
- for Word Perfect (both PC and Mac). I called ccMail, who sent we to Claris.
- I called Claris, who sent me to about 10 different places, from the "Claris
- fulfillment center", to APDA, Apple, etc. Claris had a listing for XTND
- translators, but only for Claris products (one pleasant surprise from Claris
- was that they sent me their translators free, even though I don't have any
- of their apps). The Claris people I talked to otherwise didn't know what
- the Claris XTND system was - I had to explain what their product was to them.
- They only knew they have a listing for their translators...
-
- Anyway, does anyone know where I can get XTND translators for non-Claris
- file formats? In particular, I'm looking for a Word Perfect translator, as
- the original reason I started looking for this is that people here sometimes
- write something in WP, then attach it and send it in email so the person
- at the other end gets it with all the formatting and such, and of course the
- people at the other end have something else that won't read the WP format...
- I thought the translator would be easier than having people save it as
- text and resending it (plus they could read it without loosing all the
- formatting)...
-
- Please respond by email
