I often connect to my NeXT cube from my MacII at home and thanks to a
recent posting, have finally found a good way to read WriteNow files
on MS Word on the Mac.  (WriteNow files apparently are compatible
between both machines).  I use  the command:
/NextApps/WriteNow.app/wn2rtf file.wn > rtffile
Then I kermit (in binary mode) the rtffile to the Mac.
I can then use Word (I used 4.0) to read the file.  The results are pretty
reasonable.
