Module to read AmiPro files

[swampyankee]

In the distant pass (early 1990's), I wrote a propeller analysis program based on the wing analysis program FLO22 (this was my MS capstone project). Alas, I saved everything in AmiPro, a program which is a) Windows only (and I no longer use Windows) and b) and no longer available.

What I'm looking for is a filter that can, at a minimum, strip off the formatting except for end of paragraph makers. It would be nice to retain the formatting, but I'm mostly concerned with getting my source code back.

I've never used AmiPro, but I could give it a try, or you could try it using wine maybe?

Here's the link: https://winworldpc.com/product/amipro/3x

Edit: Actually, this looks like just a demo. Sorry. But I have Lotus WordPro in a zip package, which is a later version of AmiPro, so maybe the WordPro can read AmiPro documents? Maybe? You could try. Here is the link for that: http://www.wzsn.net/xp/lwp.zip (Download size: 100 MB) This zip file contains the program called Lotus WordPro 9.7. To run, unzip the zip file's contents and then type: wine wordpro.exe and hope for the best...! :)

Edit: This program (Lotus WordPro 9.7) has an Import/Export feature, and it claims to be able to import AmiPro files. However, I downloaded a couple of sample AmiPro files, and it couldn't open them. So, I did something else. I downloaded https://lotusamipro.com/files/word2ami.zip and this converter is an addon for Microsoft Word. Using this addon, I was able to open the AmiPro SAM documents with Word without a problem!

Thanks!

I'll give that a try.

OK, no module but this could possibly work with Calligra , a successor of KOffice.

What did you try so far?

What about https://askubuntu.com/questions/107364/is-there-any-office-suite-or-application-that-can-read-amipro-sam-files#107399

ChatGPT gave some further tips but I'm no FilterGPT (i.e. too ignorant to separate truth from hallucination and too responsible to spread fake news).

Update

ChatGPT was useless: confused Ami Pro with Word Perfect.
