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.
