risks and damages arising from the use, misuse, or inability of this
program are entirely at the responsibility of the user.


Overview
--------

Microsoft core fonts places the euro symbol at ASCII value 128, whereas the
ISO Latin-9 uses the ASCII value 164 for the symbol. The latter location is
used in current euro-compatible Amiga fonts, so euro symbols in text
documents created with e.g. Microsoft Word 97 will display incorrectly on
the Amiga. MS2AmigaEuro converts all characters in a file with an ASCII
value of 128 to 164 and saves the result in another file. Amiga2MSEuro does
the same vice-versa.


Usage
-----

MS2AmigaEuro <input file> <output file>

Amiga2MSEuro <input file> <output file>


Examples
--------

To convert a text document "mseuro.txt" created with Microsoft Word 97 to
an Amiga compatible form (euro-wise) and save the result to file
"amigaeuro.txt":

1> MS2AmigaEuro mseuro.txt amigaeuro.txt

And to do the same vice-versa:

1> Amiga2MSEuro amigaeuro.txt mseuro.txt
