This program convert an ACDSee description file (descript.ion) to standard
Amiga filenote. ACDSee is an good picture viewer on the PC and the program
introduced an descript.ion file where informastion about the file format and
information about the pictures was described. After a while I found another
PC program which is using the same file descript.ion to describe the files
it work with. The program I am talking about is Binary news group grabber
which puts the description in the descript.ion file. So when I copied the
files on a disk zip/jaz drive I wanted to have the file description with the
files I had grabbed down.

How to use the program ?

1. Copy the files and the descript.ion file to an media with you can read from your
   Amiga. Remember that descript.ion is hidden by default on the PC. to be sure that
   you got it with you.

2. Copy all the program to an Amiga device drive (Crossdos or Macdos can not be used to 
   set the filenote).

3. Enter the directory where the files are placed.

4. Run the programm ACDSee2Filenote.

The programm will comment which files it set the filenote on.

Bugs/Limitations:

The Amiga filenote is only xx characters long and the descript.ion file have descriptions
which are longer than xx. ACDSee2Filenote just cut the last characters if this should happend.
