We'll use this site to introduce the only kown way to convert .lit files into something portable format for example .rtf or .pdf.
What are the reasons for such a script ?
For Example you want to read an Ebook purchased on the web on a linux box or a macintosh or even a Palm PDA. Unfortunately there is no Reader available and probably won't be.

What you need:

1. Wintask from Wintask or directly by Wintask Trial.
2. MS Reader for PC http://www.microsoft.com/reader/ Version 2.1 v2.0 may work too.
3. Now the actual Script.
4. Open up your .lit document in the MS Reader, move to the first page of text (after the chapter listing).
5. Open up wordpad, yes it must be wordpad because thats the way I wrote the script.
6. Open up convert21.src in Wintask and click on Play then Run. Now a dialog box opens up telling you the version (currently .04) click ok and now enter the number of pages you wish to convert, you can subtract the last page number from the current one to convert the whole text.
7. Now you can save the wordpad document as a text document by selecting save as and chosing .doc .rtf or .txt what fits best. I for myself like .rtf best.
8. After you've run the script once you can run it again by using this command by clicking on start then run and typing in this whole command including the quotes: "C:\Program Files\WinTask\Bin\TASKEXEC.EXE" "C:\wherever_you've_saved_the_file\convert21.rob"

That's it for now it keeps me and others from uploading it and retyping it a lot. A note for those who like to play around with the script, just add a .01 the version number and add a line to the dialog box with your name in it. Post a message in the newsgroups and I'll upload it here. This method can be used to convert lit manually to RTF, .doc, .pdf or .pdb and any other text format.
