- A user contacted me recently with an interesting problem. A diskette
- with a document in CORA on it, which needed to be edited and reset.
-
- The background -- I think -- is that a typesetting house was contracted
- to produce the book, and the contract was terminated before the book
- was printed. The client got possession of the CORA disk, but that's all.
- Now the client wants to make some font changes etc..
-
- I have never heard of a CORA-to-anything filter. Has anyone else?
-
- My suggestion was to print the CORA file (expensive, I know) to bromide,
- and then scan the result, and start again from that. Fiddly, error-prone
- and expensive. But the only thing I could think of.
-
- Any suggestions?
