Your Welcome!  My computer HD's are in abundance with sensitive, personal and
confidential files and information/data from others.  However, if I haveno need
or reason to keep them - I don't - I delete them after I'm done with
conversions and such with them.

My technique is using a Mac PPC with several programs to derive whatever PC
file format you wish the files to be sent back to you in: Bernie (a IIgs
emulator) Writers Choice Elite via that program, saving the files in standard
ASCII text file format and then going from their per your desires with a file
type conversion for your PC needs - using other text file conversion
applications on the PPC.

I can understand your sensitivity issue concerns with the files and of course
will respect the contents as confidential material transmitted between you and
I only.  After the conversion and sending it back to you for proprer use on
your PC - I'd simply do a permanent delete of the files as I have no need for
such, don't care to waste my HD space with retaining them and last - have no
interest in sifi stories.

Cheers,
Tom
