Word 5 and 5.1 for the Macintosh reads and writes WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1
for DOS. You will, of course, needs a SuperDrive and utility like
DosMounter to have a PC disk show up on your desktop. (You can use AFE if
you like. I prefer DosMounter.) Version 7 of MacLink also has translators
that you can drop in the Word 5 "Word Commands" folder, so that you can
read foreign files directly into Word by simply choosing "Open".
