Hi.

I can't give you the format, but there is a program called
wp2latex, which (as you may have guessed), converts WP 5.0
and 5.1 to LaTeX. Although it doesn't do a very good job,
the program gave me enough insight in the structure and
meaning of WP codes to allow me to process them. You might
find it at ftp.uu.net, nic.funet.fi or any other major
archive site. You might try archie to find out where it
is. The sources are available in both Pascal and C (although
the C source isn't as readable as it is a translation of
the Pascal source).
