This new version of my encoding converter has many improvements over
the previous version, including the much asked for ability to run as a
stand-alone program.
Usage
The program will only convert text files. It will not work on word
processor files (unless they are saved in text format). To use it,
first select the encoding of the source text file, then click on select the name of
the source text file. Next select the encoding to convert to and use the
bottom "Choose File" button to select the name of the target file.
Finally, press the "Convert File" button. The program show a pop-up
indicating when conversion is finished.
Set Up
This converter has two new requirements that must be met to run.
Instructions on how to do this for various computer platforms are
available in the Java Set-up page.
