My father-in-law has a need to convert some files used by a Brother
Electronic Office Typewriter (EM-1000 and EM-701fx) and WordStar in to a
format that can be used by Word Perfect for a client.  I have hacked
together a basic translation for the WordStar format, but something with a
little more thought into it would be great.  I haven't even been able to get
the Brother's diskette (3.5in) to read in (I'm trying to mount it using PCFS
on a Sun SPARC), so I'm assuming it's not in DOS format.  Anybody have
solutions better than printing the whole document off and running it through
an OCR scanner?
