About Drop Text 1.5:
--------------------

This is a drag-and-drop text file converter. It can convert between
Mac, Unix, and MS-DOS files, and can convert AppleWorks AWP files
into text. It has lots of nice features and safty checks, and can
convert more than one type into the target type at a time
(ex: Mac and Dos into Unix).

Packed with StuffIt; docs included; source code available (just ask).

Stuff new with this version (1.5):

* Improved (hopefully) the file detection and line conversion.
* Improved the trailing space stripper.
* Changed the way the progress bar works.


Stuff new with version 1.4:

* Corrected dialog problems.
* Corrected a compile problem with Think C.
* Changed the program so that it creates the workfile in the same
directory as the file being changed. This allows files on floppies
to be changed.
* Added option to always go into the Options dialog for each file (as
if the Option key was always held down).
* Changed About box and Creator type.


Stuff new with version 1.3:

* Updates Finder info faster.
* Converts AppleWorks Word Processor files to text.
* Allows optional stripping of the high bit of text.
* Dialog fixes.

Stuff new with version 1.2:

* doesn't wreck with buss error in dialogs any more.
* can change file/creator type of file(s) processed.
* can remove trailing spaces/tabs from lines.

Stuff new with version 1.1:

* strips bit 7 from text files.
* can handle more than 40 files at a time.
* works better with b&w systems.
* less occurance of "buss error" on startup.
* progress dialog doesn't whip in and out.
* faster overall.
