Problem

Solutions: The AS400 convert utility, which was created by WordPerfect, supports the same codes as the WordPerfect 5.1 DCA/RFT conversion in CONVERT.EXE. A conversion utility was developed for the AS400 because the Convert Program includes codes that are not necessary for the AS400. This causes the converted files to be larger than is needed. The AS400 is a mainframe made by IBM. This conversion was created because even though the RFT option in the convert program works well with the AS400, the conversion makes the file very large (100K for a 2 page document). This is due to the fact that the prefix information and other codes that weren't necessary for the AS400 are added to the file. The new AS400 convert converts all of the codes specified in the DCA/RFT option of the CONVERT.EXE. However, it doesn't take any information that isn't necessary for the AS400 platform so what would have been a 100K file with the DCA/RFT convert is now 15K in size. The AS400 conversion disk can be ordered from orders following the regular disk pricing. The part numbers are 3.5" disk D2USIWP51X4E 5.25" disk D4USIWP51X6V
