  46. I'd like if you send me your comment about DLOGManager (for example what sort of funcion will be 
  47. implemented to make it usefull for you) specifying what is right and what is wrong. I'm wainting for 
  48. your comments to make DLOGManager a good library.

  188.  
  189.     TextConverter is a usefull tool to convert text files from the DOS or Unix platform into the macintosh one. TextConverter works on folder, so you can convert all the 'TEXT' file in a  folder  in a single selection. 
  190. The program is safe because only the file with type 'TEXT' and with not special suffix are converted.
  191. This first version is a 68K application.
  192.
