WordSmith Command-line converter under Windows

In addition to the conduit, advanced Windows users may use an ms-dos command-line program for converting WordSmith documents to and from the RTF format.

Please note:

1.This program is for advanced users only and is not currently supported under Windows

2.The application currently only converts to and from RTF files. It will not convert a source document that is not RTF. If you wish to do so, we recommend using makedoc or a similar utility.

Usage:

WSConv [-n] [-psp] <input file> <output file> <title>:

[-n] builds the Palm file without compression.

[-psp] preserves document stylesheet and pictures, if any, in the Palm PDB file

All fields are required except “-n” and “-psp”, which are optional.

WSConv -d <input file> <output file>

Converts WordSmith rich document PDB to RTF format. All fields are required.
