It is a stand alone application just for doing dirty little jobs, such as
conversion and import/exports.
I wrote it in VB, and version 0.01 is out,can be downloaded from:
My Blog <http://sarelgis.blogspot.com/> just follow the opensource links.
Later version should see the importing/exporting functions and batch file
processing and then a planned JAVA version.
Thanks for showing interest, nice motivation as all this is done in my spare
time.
Regards
Sarel
