Well, the file layout for Deluxe Write documents is listed as being in
the File Type Notes so that one shouldn't be hard to get information
for and writing a quick conversion program but I didn't see any
mention of Writer's Choice in that list so those ones might be a
little harder to handle.

Probably the easiest way to convert them would be to load them into
their original programs and have those programs save them as straight
text files.
