From the FAQ.
wordperfect - wp2latex.zip is available on wuarchive.wustl.edu
(128.252.135.4) in the directory ./mirrors/msdos/tex and on
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74) in the directory pd1:<msdos.tex>.
This is a PC program written in Turbo Pascal by R. C. Houtepen at
the Eindhoven University in the Netherlands. It converts
WordPerfect 5.0 documents to LaTeX. Pascal source is included.
Users find it ``helpful'' and ``decent'' in spite of some
limitations. It gets high marks for handling font changes.
Limitations include no indices, table of contents, margins or
graphics. It also won't handle the new features of WordPerfect
5.1, in particular the equation formatter. The program is
copyrighted but free.
Glenn Geers of the University of Sydney (glenn@qed.physics.su.oz.au)
is translating wp2latex into C and adding some WordPerfect 5.1
features, in particular its equation handling. This is an ongoing
project; the most recent version can be retrieved via anonymous ftp
from suphys.physics.su.oz.au (129.78.129.1) in ./wp2latex. It is
also available by anonymous ftp from ymir.claremont.edu
(134.173.4.23) in the directory
[anonymous.tex.ibm_pc.front_ends.wp2latex]. It was posted to
alt.sources on 8 August 1990.
