That's somewhat irrelevant. If you keep glueing external bits on, you can convert anything. FWIW, there are wp convertors and rtf converters out there as well, and some of the works outside of NOVELL DOS.

FWIW, there is a much more portable PCL interpreter - ghostpdl (formerly ghostpcl, now includes svg and xps), part of the ghostscript family, than script.exe.
