<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have started working for a company that has an AS400 with <br />
a few hundred &quot;OFFICE VISION&quot; documents on it. <br />
<br />
Id like to convert these to RTF or even TXT so that I can edit them on a PC.<br />
<br />
I don't want to spend fortune on some 3rd party converter. <br />
<br />
I can ftp to /QDLS/ directory and get to the files and download them but they come down <br />
in EBCDIC format and even if i translate them they are unusable to me because all the formating comes<br />
through as junk. &nbsp;I have access to the AS400 but I have no experience on it, so if there is somthing I <br />
can do there please be VERY basic .. <br />
<br />
Thanks for any assistance. <br />
