Here's a strange problem. I am running Word 5.1a, and need to import a
file generated by WordPerfect 5.1 on a PC.
I am able to take a floppy with the file, and generate a Mac file
using AppleFileExchange, no problem.
On my desktop machine (Mac II with Dayna 030 accelerator), Word will
open the file (using "Open Any..."), and come up with a dialog box
indicating "Converting WordPerfect 5.1 file...", starting with a 0%
completion indicator. Everything's OK so far.
Then, before the 0% changes to 1%, I get a system BOMB, with either:
Unimplemented Trap
Bus Error
Illegal Instruction
(I have tried this a few times.)
Doing the same thing on my Powerbook 180, I don't get the bomb, but
Word exits with an "Application quit due to error of type 1".
Both systems are running System 7.1.
Any thoughts?
