I did do this a while ago; I can't remember the name (I had to try four PC
programs before I got one that would work), but it most certainy wasn't PD
:( In fact yesterday (by a massive coincidence which involved a document in
Russian) I took a look through various search engines for something on the
'Net which would do this and couldn't find one (oh, I tell a lie - I found
one that could, but wouldn't save the result unless you paid money... :(
If anyone feels the need to undertake a little programming excerise...
BBFN,
Rich.
