The interest for my general conversion program, posted a few days ago, was larger than I expected, so I made a website for it. If you are interested in a general-purpose conversion engine with the grammar rules abstracted into a separate file for easy modification, then this program may interest you. It only runs on Unix Perl, but I am hoping someone will create a MacPerl version (I don't have enough time right now.) Please send me any comments you have. http://jasper.ora.com/eray/cgi-bin/splitpage.cgi?src=/jasper/www/eray/tools/force.txt&id=TOC -- \ / Erik T.
