---------- Welcome to dox 2.30 -------------
This is the dox information file. I wrote dox because there seemed to be no
other document conversion programme which took all the horrendous and time
consuming processes out of the user's hands. The others insisted on changing
style sheets and all other strange things.

Dox solves these problems. It's simple and it works!

Features:
* Dox can convert to/from rtf/text/html. i.e. It is BIDIRECTIONAL.
* It is easy to use - in most cases you only have to specify two things on the
command line.
* Can convert font size.
* Shareware - you can try for 30 days before you buy.
* Dox is GPL for Linux.
* Can use win95 long filenames or the 16 bit DOS version may be used.
* Windows GUI version is available
* A programming kit is available.

Wish list (these functions aren't implemented):
* Pictures. Coming in December 1999.
* Tables.
* Drag & drop support.
* Colours.
* Microsoft Word, Microsoft Help.
