        What does "Convert" ?

        "Convert" is a powerful file conversion program. It covers the
        application domain of any ASCII file conversion tool between
        Amiga and any other computer system.
        In addition to that "Convert" is freely configurable, so that
        it can be used for any conversion problem.


        Contents of this archive

        "Convert" v2.0 was developed and tested with AmigaOS 2.04.
        It make use of special OS2 features, so it does not work with
        Amiga OS 1.3.

        For users of Amiga OS 1.3 the older version v1.2 of "Convert"
        is provided in this archive. The graphical user interface was
        designed using version 4.5 of Torsten Jrgeleit's 
        "intuisup.library". Therefore the whole control panel of "Convert"
        looks "2.0 like" also with OS 1.3. Version 1.2 also works with
        AmigaOS 2.04 (!), but does not contain the new features.

        The package also includes the shell version of "Convert" named
        "Cvt". There are also existing two versions (v1.2 and v2.0).

        The documentation has been rewritten for Convert 2.0. The file
        "ConvertDocs.txt" contains the documentation in ASCII format,
        "ConvertDocs.ps" is a Postscript source text which can be
        sent to a Postscript printer via an appropriate utility.

        If you want to know what's new in this version, then look at
        the file "History" in the archive.
