PcConverter offers you all kinds of tools you need to convert files from or
to many different formats.
You can use PcConverter to convert text files (also RTF files) from Windows
or Unix to MacOS, or you can use it to process your custom database files
or to automate the conversion of text files to html.

Different Operating Systems use different ASCII tables (a way to represent
characters) so, for example, when you try to open a Windows text files
with a MacOS application all the special characters are misinterpreted
and the result is a series of garbage characters.

To fix this drawback PcConverter comes with six different tables that
enable you to convert text files (Dos, Unix and Windows) and correctly use
them in your MacOS. This is only an example of what you can do with
PcConverter because you have also the ability to write your own conversion
tables to expand the PcConverter capabilities.
