I don't know what the second category means. The third seems a wild overestimate - surely the only program that does interchange to any other general-purpose score format in a meaningful way is Bryan's Noteworthy convertor? He probably has figures for how many people use that but I doubt if it's as much as 5% of the ABC community. Or do you mean people who convert to ABC from other formats? - I don't think that really happens any more, everything from the NMD or BGP formats that is ever likely to be converted already has been, and there never were more than three or four people doing either. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
