This is the Beta version  (Vers. 0.6, 17.6.1993) of TRANSFIL.EXE:
A few bugs have been ironed out, and hopefully this now works
without major hitches.
The translation of Cardfiles into Textfiles and vice versa
has been cleaned up and is now more exact.

A link to Notepad and Cardfile programs has been included for easy
viewing of results.
Of course Notepad cannot view large textfiles

Cardxlat.zip contains the files:
transfil.exe
transfil.hlp
readme.txt
Copy them into any directory and start transfil.exe from either
the filemanager or the program manager.
The program translates Windows cardfiles to tab-delimited textfiles
and tab-delimited textfiles to Windows Cardfiles.

Warning: 
There is currently a limit on the number of records (cards) which is 700:. 
And each card may not contain more than 350 letters (including tabs). 
A line of text which is longer than this will be truncated.
(This is a limit imposed by WINCARD!)
 
Each tab in the textfile is translated into a Return (#13#10)
and uses up space, so a lot of tabs in your textfile 
will fill the card more quickly, and can make it "inaccessible" 
to cardfile although the number of letters in that card are less than 350
