You might try: http://www.acii.com/  This is an online document conversion
service.  They appear to be able to convert Wang documents to other formats.
I have not used their services; therefore I am not aware of how well this
might work.  They charge $10 per Mbyte plus $1 per file.

Also, I have seen references that StarOffice from Sun MicroSystems (and its
OpenOffice twin) can apparently read and convert Wang and MultiMate files.
MultiMate is the cloned version of the Wang word processor for the PC.

Do you need to extract formatting and such, or do you just need to pull out
the text from these Wang word processing files? Or, do you just need to
print them?
