An overview to programs which convert data from one format to another. Some simply take a file to convert - and others can be used in a chain of commands as a filter.
The converters on this page use various text formats and graphics formats. Some are about music files.
No converters for fonts, natural languages or program code, though. No libraries for conversion programs, and no perl modules. Now, there's an idea for *your* webpage, eh? ;-)
