- We did, and it cost us only a day. Everything you need to do is convert
- the .G-file into an app-file readable by WCL. However, you get a problem:
- WCL will only work with OLIT, and you will soon find out that devguide
- does NOT work with OLIT (xxx not supported. yyy not working. zzz will
- be badly positioned. I confess, some are OLIT-errors).
