          - nearly complete new code
          - partial modular concept; conversion tables as external
            files
          - Use of a read-/write-buffer; this causes
            1) Size of the convertable files only limited by
               hard disk space
            2) About 5-20 times faster
          - Implementation of the Atari-format
          - Very ugly bug at the Macintosh-conversion removed
            (uncorrect char conversion at the ASCII-range 127-255)

            1) Remove control chars
            2) Convert only control chars

            MAILWARE
