I hope this tool will be useful for you.

  • You want to print brightly an HTML page and your browser doesn't support it
  • You want to extract and get raw text from various files (Wordworth, Word, Rtf (Mac or ANSI), HTML, PDB (compressed or not), AmigaGuide, Postscript)
  • You want to save a Wordworth document in a good and complete Rtf format ?
  • You want to print a ASCII file using Postscript quality
  • You want do use various options for each conversion
  • You want to create web pages from your Wordworth documents

TARGETS

It exists many other tools allowing various text conversions, but some give no interface or disappointing results or no option.

This program isn't perfect but it should give you a great help.

These are some adjectives describing WoW :
  • Easy : the WoW archive contains the minimum amount of files (exe + short doc)
  • Powerful : WoW provides you standard conversions but others really new
  • Cheap : WoW is offered for free in a full version for a legal usage for all
  • Evoluting : WoW is in permanent development and comments and ideas are really welcome
  • Practical : WoW provides an easy interface using MUI or a call with a command line
  • Free : WoW may be distributed without any restrictions, you don't need any approvement
  • International : WoW manage the standard Amiga localization (catalogs included in the archive)
  • Complete : WoW provides different options for each conversion

SUPPORTED CONVERSIONS

(Between brackets, the actual state of the conversion in the date of 07/08/00 - v1.10)
  • Ascii -> Ascii : This standard is not a real one, it's necessary to manage the different implementations
  • AmigaGuide -> Ascii : may be useful
  • Html -> Ascii : To keep only the essential from a web page
  • Pdb -> Ascii : PalmPilot becomes really current, as Web articles in its PBD format [100%]
  • Rtf -> Ascii : If your wordprocessor doesn't support Rtf ... waiting for a better solution [supports ansi accents]
  • Postscript -> Ascii : A PAO document impossible to read ? [not very good but allows to obtain raw text]
  • Word -> Ascii : Read a annoying Word text (formats Word 2, 6, ... supported) is no more a problem
  • Wordworth -> Ascii : An ASCII text saved too quickly into Wordworth ? [100%]
  • Ascii -> HTML : Avoid to add HTML tags manualy over a plain text [generated code awnsers the W3C standard]
  • Wordworth -> Rtf : Will offer a better export than Wordworth 6 itself [for now, only document parameters and text attributes (style, fonts) are supported]


New features of the version 1.24 :

  • Wordworth -> HTML : new conversion ! Supports HTML version 3.2. Manages standards characters, sizes and styles, justification, and header informations
  • changed GUI : options are now on the main panel, no more logo
  • new arguments management, it's possible to have a short help about a done option
  • new internal data structure to develop quicker and better in the future. For the moment, only converters which treat Wordworth files are concerned
  • Wordworth -> RTF : manages styles, paragraph justification

New features of the version 1.20 :

  • FinalWriter -> Ascii : new conversion !
  • Rtf->Ascii : solves the header problem with some RTF versions
  • Wordworth -> Rtf : the conversion is now better than Wordworth itself ! It saves the document information, headers and footnotes, ...
  • General options : title, line size, standard characters, etc.
  • Documentation et catalog in polish : thanks to GDR !

Editors Note


Don't you just hate it when someone decides to send you a file in that over inflated "Word Format". Of course you can't read it unless you have a PC ...Or can you ?

Using WoW you can convert "Word" documents into plain readable text, However you will of course lose any Pictures included with the original file.

WoW is unbelievably fast at Text conversions and should be a MUST on every Amiga Harddrive.
