ANNOUNCE: xtopdf 1.0: conversion of other file formats to PDF

[Az Tech]

Vasudev Ram has released v1.0 of xtopdf as an open source project on
SourceForge. The URL is: 

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtopdf

xtopdf is a project to provide ways of converting the content of other
file formats to PDF.

Currently supported formats are:

1. Plain text

2. .DBF (XBase) files.

Others will follow over time.

The software is written in Python.

It requires:

1. Python 2.2 or higher (http://www.python.org/2.2.3)
2. The open source version of the ReportLab toolkit (also written in
Python).
(http://www.reportlab.org)

xtopdf is useful for quickly converting plain text files or the
content of .DBF files to PDF format.

xtopdf is cross-platform - has no OS-dependent code, so should work on
any platform where Python runs, including Linux, UNIX and Windows.
