We would like to announce txt2pdf 8.3 version.
http://www.sanface.com/txt2pdf.html
txt2pdf is shareware; it is a very flexible and powerful Perl5 script
that converts text files to PDF format files, so you can use it in
every operating systems supported by Perl5, including MPE/iX, OpenVMS
and EPOC.
It's simple to design background like invoices, orders etc.
Here nice examples made using txt2pdf PRO

If you prefer we also distribute executables for Windows, Linux,
Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Mac OS X. Inside the Windows version you can
find a VB GUI: Visual txt2pdf.
Remember to read the Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. project at
http://www.aboutlegacycoding.com/archives/v4/v40603.asp

What's new in this version
The automatic conversion of strings with http:// ftp:// mailto:
https:// ldap: news: ... into links was one of the first features of
txt2pdf.
We have changed strategy and now this feature is optional, you have to
select linkuse : 1.
The reasons of this choice are two: the link conversion is made using
RE and it's very time consuming. This means that with big text files
the conversion is slow. The second reason is that Reader 7.x
automatically converts into link http:// https:// ftp:// mailto: ...
and also www. and @!

Test txt2pdf 8.3!
