Re: File Conversion

≪ Does this mean that one could update or supplement the XyWin filters with
 newer files from (duly licensed copies of) W4W by copying those files into
 the XyWin filter subdirectory? If so, would the XyWin filter menu
 automatically find and list the new filter files, or would some further
 changed be required? ≫

If I recall XyWin, it operates much like XyDos: there's a series of
stand-alone files that list the formats and the filter names, and those files
are picked up by the menus for display in the dialogs. It should be a fairly
simple matter to copy over new filters and rewrite the *.FLT files. You'll
need the DLL files, not the EXE files. And if the files have the same names,
you'll have to play around with some of the switch settings, too (they're in
the stand-alone files).

Worth a try.
