I need to know how to convert from Wordstar document format (Wordstar Pro 4)
to an ordinary everyday garden variety text file.  The wordstar is running
in the IBM PC (yuk!) environment and I need the Document files (already in
existence) converted to text files for transfer to the Macintosh and
subsequent processing with a textual database.

I probably won't get to read the articles in this group (or any other for sure)
so please reply by email.  I will summarise the replies.

Thanks,
