Usage
~~~~~

This program converts between different character sets (Alphabets).
Simply drop your file onto !Cvrt's icon and wait for the save box
appearing for saving of the converted file.

Defined alphabets are: ISO/Latin1 (always present), 7-Bit ASCII, MS-DOS,
                       McIntosh, Roman-8 and EBCDIC.

Available menu selections:
 Info:
  Give info about program
 Infile:
  Set to alphabet in source file
 Outfile:
  Set to alphabet in converted file
 End-of-Line:
  End-Of-Line character(s) may be set independently of conversion, but a
  sensible default setting is provided for each character set.
 Options:
  Detab   - expand tabs (9) with spaces (tabstop every 4th character)
  Strings - Convert characters inside double quotes (") only
  Quoted  - Convert characters preceeded by tilde (~) only
  Paragraphize - replace single end-of-line characters with a space and
                 remove any leading and trailing spaces around them.
                 Only available when the destination character set is ISO/Latin1.
                 This option may be useful when importing preformatted text into
                 e.g. Impression.
 Save:
  Save current setup.
 Quit: 
  As usual... 

Hints:
 To add/edit the translation tables, edit the file Tables inside the
 !Cvrt application directory (Double click !Cvrt app. while pressing <SHIFT>).
 (Make a backup copy first!!)
 Instructions are found in the Tables file itself.

 The Resource directory also contains message files for different languages.
 To install: Replace the current Messages file (in the !Cvrt directory)
             with the language (country name) required.
 (If the Messages file is removed, then the default language is UK).

Notes:
 All conversions are done VIA the ISO/Latin1 alphabet, except conversions
 where the infile and outfile alphabets are the same.
 Currently a maximum of 10 conversion tables may be defined.
