Subject: [Homestead] Viewing GeoWrite files in Windows

Every now and then someone emails me with a request on how to work with a GeoWrite file from within Windows. Well, naturally, no Windows wordprocessor can deal with a GeoWrite file, just like GeoWrite can't deal with an MS-Word file. So, about 4 years or so ago, I wrote my one and only Windows program, called GeoWriteImport.

GeoWriteImport can view GeoWrite files from within Windows. It can also save them back to disk as a plain ascii file which may then be loaded into any Windows wordprocessor or text editor.

GeoWriteImport expects the files to be in Convert 2.5 format. There's no documentation for GeoWriteImport, but if you load it up and run it on your Windows machine, you will be immediately familiar with it if you're a GEOS user. You'll notice how simple it is to figure out and use.

Download the file and pass it around freely from:

http://userdata.ia4u.net/maurice/files/gwimport.exe
(Get it off the CD – gwimport.exe)

There is also an Amiga version available. The Amiga version can't display the files to the screen but it can still convert to plain ascii with the required linefeeds in place of the carriage returns that Amiga wordprocessors require. The Amiga version includes documentation. This file is at:

(Get it off the CD – gwimport.lha)
