how to convert wordstar files?
hi!
any ideas on how to convert wordstar files to something current? |
Here is some info that might help.
http://www.wordstar.org/wordstar/pages/convert_faq.htm I do not know if openoffice writer can import wordstar files. |

Alternatively, if you've got dosemu running, there are numerous DOS based converters, including Star Exchange should you still have WordStar 5-7 or 2000 kicking around; or if you've got wine, you could try one of the Windows based converters such as the HABiT WordStar Converter. These converters are all available from that conversion FAQ. Mike |
It's late but I'll leave this here for future reference:
I was able to compile WSRTF from wordstar.org with little modifications. Here's how to: 1) Download and unzip WSRTF.ZIP from the above page. 2) Open WSRTF.C with a text editor and add the word "int" at the beginning of lines 48, 64 and 112. Here are the resulting lines 48, 64 and 112: int jumpOut() { int jumpLine() { int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { 3) Build it, with the following command: gcc -o wsrtf WSRTF.c It will give some warnings, but stil compile. 4) Convert your files using the wsrtf command. Hope it helps. |
Why wouldn't you want to just keep running WordStar? Best dammed word-processor ever made. :D
