Sheesh! I've been plugging my "Convert Script" tool for months now
and I'm still the only one using it. It preprocesses scripts so that
they survive the trip through the server and are still as readable or
unreadable as they were prior to preprocessing.
Since preprocessed scripts included the name/version of the tool, it
would be fairly easy for someone browsing the archives to relate a
preprocessed script to the tool used, and version if necessary.
It changes special symbols to displayable equivalents which compile,
eg, [not equal to symbol] becomes /=, and the continuation character
becomes ==> which doesn't compile but is a little less confusing than
a comma.
Again, read about it and/or download the current version by going to

I have most of the next version done but haven't seen it as a priority
since I'm the only one using it!
