Hello Bill;
The script may be easy to use, but it is not easy to find (I crashed MSIE
twice triying to get around the jsoftware site.) Do you have a URL for those
scripts? Chris?

Hello Donna;
That "y. -> y" is a simple search-and-replace is something I didn't feel
in my gut. If that was your experience, fine. The irreversibility of
that kind of change made me hesitate to consider it.
Using a simple search-and-replace "y. -> y" didn't work for me because I
use "try."
I used this sequence of search-and-replace:
try. -> tryXX.
y. -> y
tryXX. -> try.
Other possible problems involve for loop indices.
I.e. "for_xx." would be affected by "x. -> x"

Chris Burke had already put a script for batch conversion in j-wiki
sometime ago. It is really simple to do conversion using that script. It
may be a good idea to mention it inside release note.

bill
