You need conversion filters of the same vintage. If you have the newer
Hungarian files, they are vastly preferable:

W4W17T.EXE  73067 5-14-96  3:16pm
W4W49F.EXE 187001 8-19-96 12:37pm
W4W49T.EXE 157029 8-19-96 12:45pm

I think the last of the broken links in XYWWWEB.HTM has now been explained, but
some of us missed out on obtaining these files while they were still
available. I was a licensed user of the Mastersoft filter set (separately as
well, in its standalone pkg.) and was unaware any later versions existed, until
noticing that section of the site about a year ago. The filters I have are
much older. I would certainly like to obtain the "Hungarian" files, from any
willing source.
