Thanks David.
That's not going to work realistically, time wise.

I have LanmanFS set for NoTypes: Y  So all the files end up on the PC side
clean.

Even if I had the time, I have no idea what the .suffix would be for the
!DocData file or the rest of the files withing the !nnnn Directory.

Taking this a step furthur. I've put the document back into Impression and
re-saved it out as a single file document.

That will load into OvPro for Windows.

It's important that the now single file Imp doc is named with a .bc5
suffix otherwise it will not load into OvPro for windows.

Err:
"Document feature level not high enough to use unicode."

So folks remember "Name.bc5"
