Actually, I did the same thing [a tape from New Zealand] and I simply wrote the folks who made the tape a note asking for permission to convert my copy to ntsc, they wrote me back a letter saying OK, and that letter was sufficient for me to get a converter-place to make me an NTSC version. Did you try *asking* the copyright holder for permission to convert the tape?? /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
