Convert Ventura Publisher Files Converter
I have a few files that they say have been generated with Ventura Publisher Version 3.0. I don't have the Ventura Publisher anymore, but I need to find a way to convert these files into some other format that I can use, for example HTML or MS-Word, or even Text.

I have been trying to convert and/or read the files with *.WP extenstion, which seem to be Word Perfect files (Don't know the versions!), but couldn't do it with any of the existing editors and converters that I found around. After the conversion of the *.WP files to any format, it converts the Style information as the text itself. So for example: @NEW SECTION, @COPYRIGHT.
