       This conversion process has been a bit cumbersome and time 
       consuming.  I don't like that the sausage making is split between 2 
       boxen, especially with one of them being windoze and m0ar  
       especially with it being so damn slow.  
       
       The overnight processing reminded me of, ahem, public 
       domain downloads from back in the commie BBS days over 300 baud + 
       dialup.  GOOGOOGOO over Punter protocol.  Start the download 
       before bedtime and before the end of any BBS session time limit (while 
       tying up the phone line) and hopefully the file writes to the 5.25" 
       floppy successfully.  At least there is no upload/download ratios. 
       
       I think there might be a faster old wind0ze laptop that I might be 
       able to test on.  I'll hafta sift thru inventory.
