Re: Exporting files with accented characters

Agree with Kari that RTF is the way to go from XyWrite to Windows, and
that the W4W filters work well if not perfectly. If you don't want to
navigate the menus every time, here are the W4W commands to put into a
DOS batch file:

W4W17F.EXE [Xy_file_in] /N /V2
PAUSE
W4W19T.EXE [RTF_file_out] /N /V0

PAUSE is needed to allow the first command time to create its
intermediate file. If you're running 4DOS, you can substitute "DELAY".
My experience is that the default delay time of 1 second is long
enough, but if you're converting larger files, you may need DELAY 2 (or
longer).
