flexfax: MS-WORD Conversion utilities...

[Aidan Van Dyk <aidan@ottawa.com>]

Hello.

I stumbled accross this today:
http://www.blueberry.com/
http://www.blueberry.com/pisu.htm

They sell a program called Filtrix.
"Bidirectional filters & converters for FrameMaker, Word, HTML,
WordPerfect, Interleaf"

It is not Open Source software, but I suspect it may be what some
companies need to implement their fax gateways to transparently handle
formats such as WordPerfect and Word97.

I've played with it's conversions, and WordPerfects printing, and can
now happily convert word documents, and others to postscript via
typerules.  I am now SERIOUSLY considering WP8 and Filtrix - not for
word processing, but just for the printing solutions they provide.
