	I've done some experiments with moving files between ST and IBM WORD
PERFECT.  Based on those experiments, and information in "Word Perfect Talks
to the World (Transferring files between PC's, Mac's, etc.) [WORDPERFECT
MAGAZINE, July 1989, p. 28], I've come up with the following tips:

1.  If using 3.5" diskettes, use one formatted by a) an IBM, b) TOS 1.4, or
c) one of the public domain MS-DOS formatting programs for the ST.

2.  To transfer from ST 4.1 to IBM 4.2 or IBM 5.0, simply load the file into
the program normally.  When you save it (assuming you use default settings),
it will be saved in the IBM format.  Note that IBM 4.2 doesn't know about
italics and will drop them.  IBM 5.0 will correctly interpret ST 4.1 italics.

3.  To transfer from IBM 4.2 to ST 4.1, use the "Save in 4.1 format" command.
To transfer from IBM 5.0, use the "Save in 4.2 format", load the 4.2 file
into IBM 4.2, and save it again using "Save in 4.1 format".  Yes, this does
mean that you need to have a copy of version IBM 4.2 in order to transfer
from IBM 5.0 to ST 4.1 (or IBM 4.1 for that matter).

4.  Font information will not normally transfer correctly from ST 4.1 to
IBM 5.0.  One way to alleviate the problem is to create your own conversion
file.  See "Document Conversion:  4.2 to 5.0 (A New Face on Some Old Files)" 
(WORDPERFECT MAGAZINE, July 1989, p. 21).
