Well as far as I know I suspect that the .wri format is a cut down
word 6 format, It might be easy to modify wv to handle .wri as well,
if not there was the beginnings of a wri2xml filter at
http://arturo.directmail.org/filtersweb/wri2xml.html
You could ask him for source code and see is it similiar to word6 and
nail it into wv
Also of some possible interest to those working in this area: much of
microsoft documentation for DevStudio, i.e. the infoviewer help files
which document the ms file formats for instance, the .ivt format now
has a linux converter to html. Stuck it together last night. Alpha
vesion is at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/publink/ivt2html/
