Difference between MCP and MVP:

MCP demands MVP go look up answer for MCP
MVP looks up answers on groups.google.com/MSKB/Symantec KB, etc. and does
not demand someone else do the work for them.

MCP already looked in google groups and MSKB but didn't expect to find a
WordPerfect converter for Word at the Symantec KB. I just wanted you to go
see for yourself. You did go see for yourself and found out I was right,
right?

MVP just thinks MCP is cute and likes talking to him. MCP KNOWS that MVP
just doesn't want to admit that shes wrong.

The ORK package will only install on Windows 2000 or Windows 2003,
but you can extract the converters using Winzip.

It's been awhile, but if I recall, the series of Right click
then 'Open With'=>Open with WinZip' was similar to
Right click ORK.exe
Inside that archive right click the .CAB file
Inside that one, extract the OconvPack.exe
Right click the extracted .exe file and with Winzip extract
the CNV or FLT file you need.

Might be a good time to try to transfer the CD image to
the hard drive then build a new image as well, while it
is still readable.

=====
The CD is barely readable... >>
