5.00 5.50

MS-DOS

Summary:

When converting several files with the WORD_DCA.EXE program, each file must be listed individually in the input and output list. If the wildcard reference (*) is used in either the input or output list, an “Input file open failure” error results when converting from DCA format to Microsoft Word format, or a “Cannot open document file” error occurs when converting from Word format to DCA format. The instructions on how to use the WORD_DCA conversion program begin on page 208 of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 5.00 manual.

The Word version 5.50 WORD_DCA file conversion program gives the following error message when wildcards are used in the input or output list:

Input file is not a valid PC Word file. Conversion stop.
