I am trying to extract multi-language text from files that were created by a one or more Wang word-processing systems, so that the text can be made available for use in a more popular format (e.g. ISO Latin1, Unicode, etc.) I would greatly appreciate any help from anyone familiar with Wang word processors, with regard to file formats, character encoding, layout encoding, etc. In case it helps, I happen to have an initial tape of data with a listing of its contents, and the listing has page headings that all say: "WANG VS BACKUP Program Version 7.22.64" Does this ring any bells for anybody? (Unfortunately, I don't have any hard copy documents corresponding to these files.) Please e-mail responses. Thanks eternally for all help. -- David Graff Linguistic Data Consortium graff@chestnut.ling.upenn.edu 441 Williams Hall voice: (215) 898-0887 University of Pennsylvania fax: (215) 573-2175 Philadelphia, PA 19104
