Hi,
I have a problem while trying to convert Word Perfect file into ASCII
format. I am using CONVERT utility supplied with WP. The command line
is:
CONVERT wp_file_name ascii_file_name 1 7
The error is 'divide overflow'. To complicate more it appears only when
file is created or modified by WP. If file is converted from ASCII to
WP and then back - it works fine...
Also another problem:
when converting from ASCII to WP using command
CONVERT ascii_file wp_file_name 9, {13} {10} {}
the file I am getting accepts less characters per line - it moves few
characters to the next line..
I am new to Word Perfect, but need this utility for one of my projects.
I will appreciate any suggestions..
thx..
