- wrote asking if ConvertIt would get his Mac stacks into ToolBook.
-
- Well, SCB, I had mixed results going from HC to TB using Convert-It.
- It did a fine job with the physical layout, especially graphics, but
- didn't make any attempt at translating the scripts. It just commented
- the HC scripts and left them for me to discover.
-
- Where Convert-It worked beautifully was in getting bit-mapped graphics
- into ToolBook, which uses object-based graphics. I haven't found any
- other way of getting bitmaps into ToolBook, but then our suite of
- PC-based graphics tools is fairly limited here.
