WordPerfect Works can only work with a limited number of MS-DOS files. The
.DOT file is probably not one of them.
Here are some suggestions for you to try:
* Try loading it back into the DOS application and trying to save as Text
Only, Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or any other common file format.
* Ask your local dealer about products that work in conjunction with PC
Exchange and actually translate documents into various types of Macintosh
files. Some of them have several different translators that your WordPerfect
Works application does not have.
