[mule-cgreek:00825] CGreek and WinGreek

["I. A. Ruffell" <isabel.ruffell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Can I make a plea for the retention of the option to import/export/convert in 
WinGreek format?  I see in the manual that you're looking for further 
clarification about that format but likely to discard it in the future.

There is no WinGreek format as such beyond the codepoints for 
WinGreek-compatible fonts. There are a variety of packages(whether TSR Windows 
programs, including the original WinGreek, or Word macros) that turn a series 
of keystrokes into those single units.  So, a Word (or StarOffice) document 
saved as a plain ASCII text file is relatively easily imported and converted 
into CGreek, although it requires a certain amount of tidying up.  At least, 
that's how I've done it.  Given the variety of both Windows wordprocessing 
packages and WinGreek fonts, it would probably be unwise to attempt anything 
more comprehensive as a filter.

I guess there won't be that many people converting from MS Word to Emacs, but 
perhaps you should keep the door open?

Anyway, thanks for a great package.

Isabel
