Product Description:

GreekTranscoder is a program which converts polytonic Greek characters written using one text encoding into another one. Its primary goal is to allow the conversion of documents using older fonts and encodings into Unicode fonts. However, it also allows converting text between older encodings as well as from Unicode into those obsolete formats.

Currently GreekTranscoder supports the following legacy encodings:

Beta Code
GreekKeys
Ismini
LaserGreek
Paulina Greek
SGreek
SPIonic
SuperGreek
Vilnius University
WinGreek (and Son of WinGreek)

And, of course, GreekTranscoder supports Unicode, using either composed or composing characters. A Unicode text can be converted into Unicode itself with different conversion settings.

What's new in this version:

the Vilnius University encoding is now supported.
the routine which verifies the Unicode composing characters' sequences is now much more efficient.
the default font list now includes 'Code2001', 'Gentium' and 'GentiumAlt', and 'ALPHABETUM', plus Vilnius-University-encoding fonts.
the default font list no longer includes the so-called 'Semata' fonts.
the replacement order has been modified so that capital vowels with prosgegrammeni are now treated after the small letter iota with diacritics, but before the plain small letter iota.
the transcoders have been updated an a few mistakes corrected.
improved the treatment of WinGreek quotation marks.
corrected an issue on Windows where, even if the minimal configuration was not met, the program would still load.
on Windows, the program displays a smaller window and uses Arial 10pt instead of 12pt.

Downloaded 5 times so far, always with an error message upon uncompressing. I think its author should review the package posted, and replace it with a valid archive.
Otherwise, as described, seems most useful...
