Yes, a mere five days ago, note 1075 was posted.

| 1083.2 | you can buy a conversion package | PARZVL::ogodhcp-124-40-168.ogo.dec.com::kennedy | nuncam non paratus | Tue May 27 1997 23:53 | 9 |
| this is a bit different than 1075 - which wanted to read
the WPS-PLUS attachments in Exchange.
What Innosoft (the PMDF vendor) recommends for converting
WPS-PLUS is to buy and integrate a document conversion
package. They mention KEYpak ( http://www.KEYpak.com )
I don't know what others there are (perhaps the Messaging
practice may). More detail can be found by following the
Support link at Innosoft's page ( http://www.innosoft.com ).

| 1083.3 | what's everyone else doing? | ODIXIE::SIMPSONT | PC = world's biggest con job! | Wed May 28 1997 17:39 | 8 |
| I'm really amazed that this has not come before... I really thought
that this would be a HOT topic and that the people that "planned" the
migration to Exchange would have a plan to address these issues?!
Have I missed something obvious? Wouldn't A LOT of people be
struggling with this issue?

Yes, for the Digital Exchange migration there are tools (Exchangelink
& Direct-to-1) which will do WPS-PLUS translation. I see from your
entry in 1075 that you have not found this to be true. Did you report
it to the Helpdesk - they can escalate to the vendor if necessary, but
may already have a solution.

The person asking this question is doing so for a customer migration
project (not internal Digital). We in Digital decided to use the
translation from WPS-PLUS to plain text which is built into PMDF, rather
than by a converter package (which could have gotten quite expensive,
since we're up to about a dozen PMDF gateways by now). PMDF does
convert all attachments, btw.

| 1083.5 | more homework required | ODIXIE::SIMPSONT | PC = world's biggest con job! | Fri May 30 1997 14:44 | 10 |
| Thanks for the response. I have to do a little more research on the
circumstances surrounding the cases where there is a translation
problem. It seems to work in some cases and fails in others. The
original migration was done for a co-worker via Direct-To-1. I have
not seen the same problem with the files that I migrated from my own
account. But then, I have not attempted to open each and every
attachment yet, either...
Regards,
Tom

| The other way to do this is to use Mailbus 400 rather than PMDF. Mailbus
400 comes with Mastersoft converters that do a good job of converting from
WPSPLUS to Word. I have successfully done this at a customer site.
