- Go for MacDraw conversion next, and a MAC RTF (Rich Text Format -- basically
- the MSWord file format, with text and bitmapped & structured graphics) next
- if you want something challenging. I personally know quite a few Amiga users
- who do their word processing with MS Word under A-Max, because there are no
- good Amiga word processors available. To be able to convert MS Word files for
- use with Amiga DTP programs would be very handy. It would also be nice to
- be able to make use of my library of 400+ items of high-quality structured
- MacDraw clipart with Amiga DTP programs.
