I have a  number of WordPerfect (WordPutrid if you prefer) documetns
to transfer to a remote UNIX system (no idea what system at this point).
 
What I am looking for is something which will run on either my PC or the
UNIX machine, to translate the WP files to troff/eqn/tbl format.
 
I don't think this would be too hard to program with a table of the WP
formating codes, but I haven't the time to devote to the project.
 
The similarity between the WP5.1 equation editor and eqn is
sufficient that I could make the minor changes needed in equations
by hand if necessary, but the reformating of the bodies of an extensive
collection of WP documents (say 500 pages) by hand is out of the question.
 
I would prefer a FREE package of some sort, but will pay if there is no
choice.
 
If this is not the right place for this question, I apologise.
 
Please respond by E-mail.
 
I will post a summary if... you know the bit.
 
Look, Ma.  No .signature
