I need the MS-BASIC utility UNLISA that converts LISA Workshop text documents into Macintosh text documents. Apparently, it has been circulated on Compuserve but not on Info-Mac. My ARPA address is obe%magic.dec@decwrl.ARPA Thanks in advance for your help. /Jay/

(the logical eof is noted at the top of the screen (block) which contains it.) 5. substitute all box-( occurances with tabs. This is a total hack and the program sounds like a better solution, but if you're in a hurry.... ps: is Fedit public domain ?
