Hi.
I might be having the wrong newsgroup, or have missed the answer in the FAQ,
but here's my question:

Are there descriptions of the (native) format of text processors such as:
WordPerfect, MS Word 4/5, ... for both Macintoshes and PCs? And, if so,
where can I find them. Any pointer is appreciated (descriptions, sources of
conversion programs, ...).

My problem is that I am currently setting up a mail service for Dutch spell
checking (including (real) grammar checking). Everybody likes the idea but
hates to save their files in ASCII (without line breaks and hyphenation). I
already have got something that seems to work with WP 5.1 files (I derived it
from an wp2latex.pas source).

Ciao,

	Theo Vosse
