W ABC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
W ABC was a program that converted files from Luxor ABC 80 and ABC 800 to PC compatible computers.
The program read and wrote ABC-floppies in the PC's diskette compartment. Besides pure filetransfer some special fileformats were converted. For example ORD800-files (wordprocessing on ABC 800) could be translated to WordPerfect-, Microsoft Word- or Cicero-files (Cicero was an odd shortlived wordprocessor related to ORD800) while Kalkyl800-files was translated to something that could be read by Lotus 1-2-3 or Microsoft Excel-forerunner MultiPlan.
W ABC was written by Erik Lundh (Datorbokhandeln) and Jörn Rönnow.
