Or a line in the docs saying: "Only all CAPs files allowed - use
other software to convert". This is not criticism - just an idea
for extending its power! At present it is usable for English
and Latin only - unless one converts the "higher ASCII" used
in the particular language into !@$#$%^&*=+{}][ etc. which should
probably work as well, wouldn't it?
