WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer tried to use the CONVERT.EXE program with a batch file (a quick convert option from the DOS command line rather than executing the CONVERT.EXE program and manually selecting the conversion options listed). When the customer used the Convert program from a batch file (using DOS commands) the customer could not strip the quotation marks. However, when the customer went through the steps of the CONVERT.EXE program manually (i.e., typing Convert at a C:\WP51 prompt, typing in the Input filename, and typing in the Output filename) the customer did not experience the problem. The customer's file was an ASCII delimited text file. Solutions: Explain to the customer that if he uses an ASCII {34} (i.e., Alt-34) instead of a quotation mark (") in the batch file, then the conversion works fine.
