Miscellaneous things that don't fit in anywhere else get an airing here...

This part of the tutorial's for all manner of gubbins that doesn't really fit anywhere else. There'll be all sorts of other facts and interesting snippets here for you to pore over, or steal for your own DOpus...



Dave's yummy text converter

Simple interface to the program CVT, a very flexible text conversion program available on Aminet as:

text/misc/cvt_1_6.lha

Just install CVT on your system somewhere with it's conversion rule files, then create a toolbar button/menu item/etc as follows:

Function:AmigaDOS cvt -f {RfConversion Rules:SYS:Prefs/CVT/} -o %s {o}
Flags : CD source
Do all files
Reload each file
No file quote

Now just select some text files and hit the button, a file requester will open allowing you to select the conversion rules to apply.

For example: Amiga->DOS, Mac->DOS, DOS->Amiga, ASCII->Morse, etc, etc.
