The package you need is Blueberry's Filtrix - I got some faxed information. 
The only hitch is that you'll have to put it on one of your Sun systems, 
as it runs under SunView, requires SunOS 3.2 or later, and runs on Sun 3, 
386i, and SPARC.  

Filtrix imports DCA/RFT, DisplayWrite 2-5, Interleaf {3.5|3.6|4.0}, FrameMaker
{1.3|2.0|2.1}, IslandWrite, MS Word, WordPerfect {4.2|5.0|5.1}, Wordstar, 
Xywrite... and many more.

Filtrix exports DCA/RFT, FrameMaker {1.3|2.0|2.1} Interleaf {3.5|3.6|4.0}, 
IslandWrite, Microsoft Word, SunWrite, WordPerfect 4.2, and Xywrite.

The fax says "Inquire about versions for other computers"

The list price is $795/single unit, with site licensing available.
Maintenance program is 25% of base rate per year ($198.75 single-user).
