Hi Ernie,

I converted the articles a while back, so I can't remember the exact details...

It went something like this:

Batch convert 50 text articles to html

Take each article and add it to an big RSS pheed.

Verify the RSS pheed and correct any errors.

I will say that I did a lot of it "by hand" and it took a few hours.

It was work, however I can now use easily use those articles over and over on any site that is RSS friendly...And, I am also using them in my auto-newsletter. I think it was worth the work and I'd do it again.

Sorry I couldn't be more help and give more specifics, but it was too long ago...
