Case Study: Word to Mainframe Conversion Tool Offshore Development

SolovatSoft team was contacted to develop a software tool that converts WordPerfect and Microsoft Word files (text and formatting codes) created on desctop PC to a proprietary code. This proprietary code is used when displaying the document on the IBM mainframe with the customer proprietary tool. This tool allows preparing documents on your PC, using the word processing software of your choice. Using this tool, you can see how the document will look on the mainframe before actually uploading the document.

The tool conversion is based on WordPerfect® and Microsoft Word® codes. However, any of several other of dozen PC word processing packages can be used to write the help text. Word for Word™ (the format conversion system available on request as part of the conversion tool package) allows converting the source document (your PC word processing file) to WordPerfect format quickly and easily.

This tool allows writing and maintaining online documentation using your favorite PC word processing software. You can also use existing documentation without having to re-key the text.
(Without this tool, most of the online documentation must be written and maintained online, and mainframe text editors are often less powerful and more difficult to use than PC word processing software.)
This converts many of the formatting codes in the PC source document. This eliminates or greatly reduces the number of modifications required to display the document online.
This provides simulation of the mainframe display on the PC. You can see exactly what the document will look like before uploading in mainframe.
The tool editor allows modifying the converted file without going back to the word processor. Changes appear immediately in the simulation.
The tool formats online help windows for display in proprietary format. You can set the size, format, and display position of the window, create selection windows, and much more.
