[NPL] Ascii Converter 1.1

What is Ascii Converter? ASCII converter is a simple "drag and drop" application that converts text files from Windows to Macintosh and vice versa. MacOS and Windows use two different ASCII tables (a way to represent the characters) so when you open a Windows text file with a Mac application all the special characters (like: ,,,,, etc.) are misinterpreted. ASCII converter fixes this drawback and enables you to correctly read the text. What's new in this version: - Bidirectional translation (Mac (-) Win) - Navigation Services support (if available) - Enhanced errors report - Preferences window - New Spash Screen and About box For more information, or to download a free copy, visit http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/7185 (software section).
