Well, maybe. But if you think about it, there's not much difference between
running Tim's program and running XyWrite's program (offered on the "Save As"
menu): both run within XyWrite, both shell to DOS, and both run in a highly
limited memory space. And lack of memory is the main reason these conversions
crash -- it's pretty easy to demonstrate. What isn't mentioned here is: size of
the exported file, number of other files open, amount of memory available. Tim
agreed:
