How old? WP5.1DOS had no automatic extension & WPWin5.2 didn't either, afair; WPWin8 used .wpd -- which version automatically assigned .wps on its own w/o the user setting it? (Just curious.)

My mistake, I was confusing it with wp5 :-(. Also, I had to convert a bunch of old Wordperfect files for a friend a couple months back and he was using the non-standard wps extension.

.WPS was also the default extension for word processing docs created with a Digital Equipment Corp. word processing / office automation system that ran I know on PDP-11's under RSTS/E and I think on VAX/VMS as well. The exact name of the package escapes me at the moment, but I think it was called "All-In-One". It's possible, if the originating system is DEC, that it could be that -- though the last time I had contact with this system was in 1989. Maybe saving off the files, and head(1)'ing them off may yeild some info about the document's origin. -- --Gregory
