Eva is quite right, WordPerfect transfers using WP's CONVERT do indeed
work! Now, isn't that handy?
I just did a limited test of it, using a short WP 5.1 document with
underlining, italics, boldfacing and an endnote. All survived the
conversion just fine. Indeed, once the conversion and mailing and all
were finished, the final copy was exactly the same size as the
original.
Two small problems I did run into that folks might be cautioned
against:
1. Do not use WP's long document titles. This appears to trip up the
conversion.
2. Before you convert the file back to WordPerfect, make sure that
there are not any blank lines in it. That is, all of the characters
should be contiguous in the 7-bit format file. (I had a couple of
stray carriage returns sneak in there that fouled things up.)
Thanks for the guidance, Eva. This should be very helpful to SCREEN-L
FILELIST.
P.S. I still have the test file in my mainframe account. If anyone
else would like me to send it to them so they may test it out, just
send me personal e-mail: [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
