DESCRIPTION

This application opens HTML and other text files as if they were binary, and 
reads them byte-by-byte, instead of character-by-character like text 
editors do. Any byte of a 128+ value is then converted to the corresponding 
HTML entity.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Windows 95+
VB6 runtime libraries

FEATURES

 * It comes with ready-to-use support for ISO-8859-1 (us-ascii, latin1), 
   ISO-8859-15 (latin9 or latin0, the updated ISO-8859-1 including the Euro 
   symbol), CP1252 (windows-1252, Windows' superset of ISO-8859-1).
 * You can customize existing replacement sets, or define your own 
   replacement sets for other charsets. Just edit the simply formatted files 
   (byte value<tab>replacement) in the charset folder, or make new ones.
 * It can process a single file or a whole folder (and optionally 
   its sub-folders).
 * In the case of a folder, it takes a list of file extensions to be processed.
 * It can create backup files (option).
 * It accepts drag and drop from explorer for easy file/folder input.
 * It alerts on characters not included in the replacement set, such as a 
   Windows-only CP1252 character found when processing a ISO-8859-1 file.
 * All options can be saved to a .INI file for next time.
