:WOW! The guys at x2ftp managed to move several files from the incoming dir
:to the downloadable dirs including our O2CV05.ARJ.
:
:ftp it: x2ftp.oulu.fi /pub/msdos/programming/converters/o2cv05.arj
:
:It can convert .LIB, .OBJ and any other binary file (can be used to include
:textures, sound etc..) to .COFF format. Remember the objects, made by tasm,
:need to be flat modeled! There are examples in the package!
