In the program's window, highlight the volume (only one at a time) that you
want to save and press <convert>. Once it is saved to the output folder on
the hard drive a little screen will pop up saying that the job is done. You
may have to change the drive letter where the cscd disk is located. On my
laptop I have to change it from E: to D:. There aren't too many character
encodings (just 4) to choose from so you will have to use Palitrans 2.0 to
convert the vri encoding to the velthuis scheme or whatever other encoding
you want it in. Tell me if you have the same problem I have with Andy's
program in that it doesn't seem to handle large volumes at one go. I very
much like the velthuis scheme which looks great in Times New Roman and is so
much more practical and easier to use especially in list email and on
webpages. One problem with the cscd disk is that you have to load up the
whole volume whenever you want to look at just one paragraph or page. The
Budsir disk works much better this way in that it only loads up a page at a
time.

Jim
