WordPerfect is a format that should be able to be opened by
WORD or WordPerfect but if they were created using WP on a
Mac, then you will need a Mac to read them or a program that
can read Mac floppies on a DOS/PC machine.
If your previous attempts to convert these files have
corrupted them, they may be lost.

|   I have some ooolllddd poetry documents that I'd really
| like to be able to access & print out, if possible, but
| they were written in Word Perfect 5 or 6 (not sure which)
| on an old Mac and scrambled in "translation" when I tried
| to convert them to PC via TransMac.  Understandably, I
| promptly ditched that program!  The doc. symbol has a typ-
| ical computer window picture in it with a folded right
| corner, and inside the window three little things (that I
| can't figure out what they are, they're so small) right
| next to each other left to right, red blue green - in that
| exact order.  If ANYONE knows that is, could you please
| tell me/us?  I have three such documents, I'd love to
| open, as I have otherwise irretrievable - and really ex-
| cellent - poetry in them, that I'd truly to hate to lose.
| Many, many thanks in advance,   Beth
