WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS is compatible with previous versions of WordPerfect, including WordPerfect 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2, but the file format used in WP 6.0 DOS is different than in previous versions. Lists of supported word processor, spreadsheet, and graphics formats are found under Source File Formats in ConvertPerfect, which is integrated in WP 6.0 DOS. ConvertPerfect can be accessed at the WP60 directory DOS prompt by entering the command, CV.EXE. Additional conversion information, such as support for AutoCAD DXF, is documented in the README.CV file, which is included in WP 6.0 DOS.

The ConvertPerfect engine, including ConvertPerfect's user interface and online help, is used in the conversion utility of WP 6.0 DOS. When used to convert the format of a single document, the transfer is transparent to the user. Users can also run CV.EXE, located in the WP60 directory, to convert directories of files in batch mode.
WP 6.0 DOS supports conversion for the following files:

Ami Pro 1.2 (Windows)       MS Word for Windows 1.1
Ami Pro 1.2a (Windows)       MS Word for Windows 1.1a
Ami Pro 1.2b (Windows)       MS Word for Windows 2.0
Ami Pro 2.0 (Windows)       MS Word for Windows 2.0a
ASCII Text (Standard)       MS Word for Windows 2.0b
ASCII Text (Stripped)       Rich Text Format (RTF)
Displaywrite 4.0       WordPerfect 4.2
Displaywrite 4.2       WordPerfect 5.0
Displaywrite 5.0       WordPerfect 5.1/5.2
DOS Delimited Text       WordPerfect 6.0
IBM DCA/FFT       WordStar 3.3
IBM DCA/RFT       WordStar 3.31
MS Word 4.0       WordStar 4.0
MS Word 5.0       WordStar 5.0
MS Word 5.5       WordStar 5.5
MS Word for Windows 1.0       WordStar 6.0


If you wish to use a WP 6.0 DOS file with a word processor listed above, you must first save the file in WP 6.0 DOS in the desired format. The other word processor will then be able to read the converted file.

WP 6.0 DOS supports the following graphics formats:

      BMP      Windows and OS/2 Presentation Manager Bitmap
      CGM      Computer Graphics Metafile
      DRW      Micrografx Designer 3.1
      DXF      AutoCAD
