I, also, would like to weigh in on this.... there are many files in the =
public domain that have not been made for the Palm. The uconv utility =
is not quite what we need. I have not been a full-time developer for =
many years, and my skills are quite rusty, if not completely corroded =
<smile>. Olivetree's reader is nice, but, as they make their money =
selling databases, I don't believe they think it in their financial =
interest to make converters. Asaisoft's utilities are not publicly =
available.
What's a poor guy to do?!
Regards to all,
Paul
