I don't know what the wordperfect to text program in linux is called or where it's at, but I do know there's an antiword program to handle microsoft word files with a doc extension. There's probably one for wordstar too but probably most on this list don't know what wordstar is. The program I used to handle microsoft word was called antiword and last version I remember was 0.34. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
