Can you elaborate a little on what this tool actually does for you that you couldn't do with MultiTerm?  I can't find anything on this tool so have no idea what to suggest... but I'm curious :-)

Hello Paul. Good morning. Thanks for getting back to me. This program doesn't do anything in particular that I would not be able to do with MultiTerm. It's simply an old glossary in which over the years I have recorded thousands of notes on technical and legal terminology etc. Basically, I would like to find a way to convert the content of this DOS program into a more modern format and I was wondering whether by chance anyone else in the group had ever used it. I have contacted the translation agency in Italy which sold it to me in 1992 and they will get back to me this morning. let's see what they say ... I'm going to ask them if back in the 1990s they found a way to convert it into a format that could be used in Windows. Otherwise, I'll just accept my fate and gradually manually transfer the massive archive of terms to SDL MultiTerm or whatever. Best regards from down yur in Zummerzet.

ok - well, good luck with that!

Hello Paul. A technician who works at the agency that sold me that old DOS program managed to convert it into the Excel format and I'm very grateful for their assistance. I imagine I would be able to convert this Excel file into the MultiTerm format. Is that possible? Thanks. Steve

Yes, it's possible. Use the free app "Glossary Converter". If you search on Google you will find many videos that explain how to use it.

Make backups of all files before you start!
