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
 
 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:
