I thought that was obvious, but sorry for not being clear enough then.
Also, ”error=19” looks like an indication that even if it seems to be working, something might be wrong anyway, and it also indicates that there is a difference between your version and mine, which could be translated to ”upgrade and try again, then let's go from there”. > > > So already when doing it directly from the terminal emulator, the result > is totally different.

Still today there are stuff not working perfectly when converting, it was a lot worse back in 2017 (at least that's the impression I get; I never convert stuff, so I really don't care, just trying to help, which proved to be a stupid idea, so I'm sorry, I'll keep quiet now).
