SUBJECT: File conversion utilities
Moving files between different word-processing packages used to be a
pain, but it has ceased to be a problem for the mainstream commercial
packages like Word, Wordperfect, Wordstar etc: modern versions have
considerable conversion abilitiy abilities built in, and there are
programs for more complicated conversions. But anyone using one of the
specialised multi-lingual programs like Nota Bene, Chiwriter/Megawriter,
Vuwriter, Multi-lingual scholar, or the adaptations of mainstream
programs like John Hughes' excellent Scripture Fonts (sorry I never
returned any of the forms, John!) are faced with the old problem. There
is no way to move say a mixed Greek/English text between programs
preserving the Greek. There is clearly not much of a market here for a
commercial effort: but how about someone having a go at a utility out of
the goodness of their heart? Then I could e.g. communicate with
colleagues (in England, there is no standard PC program which has
conquered the lion's share of the market: I don't know about the
States).

Could you let me know if the line to India is operational yet?
I would also like to know the nodes that will be accessible to us.
Since I am a student from India I am tremendously curious.
Sincerely,

If you ever obtain a list of specific bitnet node id's for
E. Europe, will you please let me know? I am particularly
interested in Warsaw, Poland.
