Hi Everyone,

Regarding the Wintrans program, sometimes it sets off a high pitched
alarm on my computer, after it has translated a document from brf to
txt. Then after I save the txt file, it stops that alarm. lol.

I've had this experience before with Consel Aps, though it's been years. lol.

Otherwise, it's a pretty good program.

I'm running it in Windows Seven Home Premium.

Curtis,

WINTRANS actually uses NFBTRANS so it doesn't get around the problem
that some have reported with Windows 7.

However, it apparently is only a problem on 64-bit systems. Several
of us are working on possible fixes for this, though.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
