I am having problems converting Mac WP files to IBM and the other way round also,What
I have are a Mac II and an IBM AT and these are the steps I follow:-
	a)Save the file on Mac as IBM4.2 format
	b)Upload the file to a mainframe( in this case Sequent) using Mackermit
	c)Download the file to the IBM AT using kermit.
	d)convert the file to WP5.0 using Convert.exe
It is almost the same steps for the other way around except for uploading and          
downloading the file.  
My problems being that either the file opens with a lot Control characters or the 
convert.exe deletes the file except for the first page.
Any Pointers to help me out.   
My e-mail address is ccastgn@pyr.gatech.edu.
