For tape conversions, have a look at www.algroup.co.uk  (AL
Downloading). I've used them in the past for doing conversion from an
extremely obscure ICL WP using 8" discs to MS Word. They also have the
distinction (if my memory and recent research is correct) of employing
one Ben Laurie who is co-author of the O'Reilly Apache configuration
guide and major contributor to said project. In fact, if you take the
ALDigital link from the link above, Ben is named on the home page, so I
was right :-)
