Introduction The Brother Conversion Software is a utility that allows you to convert documents between different word processing formats and the Brother format. It takes document files created by one word processing program (source files), and converts them to Brother files (destination files), and vice versa. Practically all the formatting, text enhancement and other control codes are correctly translated, so that little or no touching up of the converted document is required. The different possibilities are: PC Brother Convert From To ASCII DisplayWrite® IBM® DCA/RFT IBM® Writing Assistant® Microsoft® Wordn° family Word for DOS Word for Windows® Word for Macintosh® Computer Microsoft® Works 0 z Microsoft® Write rn -n pfs:® series pfs:Write° pfs:Professional Write pfs:First Choice Brother WordPerfect® Version 4.1/4.2 Version 5.0/5.1/Windows WordStar® WordStar 3.x/4.0 WordStar 5.0 - 7.0 WordStar-2000° IBM DCA/RFT stands for IBM's Document Content Architecture, Revisable Form Text. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Interchange of Information. ASCII (print) files are suitable for copying to a printer which supports backspace and form feed functions. When converting to Microsoft Word for Windows or Word for Macintosh, the conversion software produces word for Dos files, which can be read by these programs directly without any loss of formatting.
