---------- Welcome to dox 2.00 -------------
This is the dox information file. I wrote dox because there seemed to be no
other document conversion programme which took all the horrendous and time
consuming processes out of the user's hands. The others insisted on changing
style sheets and all other strange things.

Dox solves these problems. It's simple and it works!

Features:
* Dox can convert to/from rtf/text/html. i.e. It is BIDIRECTIONAL.
* It is easy to use - in most cases you only have to specify two things on the
        command line. The input file and output file.
* Can convert font size.
* Shareware - you can try for 30 days before you buy.
* Dox is freely distributable.
* Can use win95 long filenames or the 16 bit version may be used.
* Windows GUI version is available
* Full source is available on request.

Wish list (these functions aren't implemented):
* Colours.
* Pictures.
* Microsoft Word, Microsoft Help.
* Snazzy windows interface including drag & drop support.

One last thing. I would like a postcard or an email just so I know that
