The Ultimate Converter (TUC)

Allows you to convert word processor files from any format to any format. At least that's the theory! It works by converting the often non-printable ASCII character used to represent eg bold or italic on one word processor to those used on another word processor. Example script files allow you to convert executable programs to and from ASCII (useful for performing translations) and from First Word to RTF, Protext v4.3 to Wordstar, Protext v4.3 to RTF, ASCII to RTF, Write On to RTF, Word Perfect v5.0 to RTF, Word Perfect v5.1 to RTF and Wordstar to RTF. Obviously you could alter the scripts to allow any of these to convert to any other or even introduce new conversions if you know the codes used by the appropriate word processor(s). The docs are easily followed and explain the command language used in the scripts.
