Rosetta is an application for converting eight bit ASCII texts between different systems. All included systems (NeXT, Amiga, Mac, Atari. MS-DOS) use the same seven bit character set but a different eight bit one. So you need Rosetta to transform characters like ªÙº, ªðº, ªöº, ªûº, ª§º, ªÝº, ªÕº, ªãº, ªÚº, ªpº, ªÛº, etc.

To convert a text file, simple drag it onto Rosetta's window or icon. Then the file icon will appear in the window. You may also drag multi-selected text files onto the window. Next select the convertion type. Rosetta cannot detect the type of the source text file, so please select the correct one! After that, select the destination format (on the right side of the window.) Finally hit the ªconvertº arrow.

Warning: Converting a text file in one direction and later back to the original system may not result in the same text file, because not every char set does contain every characters (e. g. MS-DOS' graphical chars are not available in NeXT's char set.)
