Re: File Conversion

[William D Rich rich@xxxxxxxx]

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?
