I first purchased some version of this software at least 12 years ago and it was genuinely useful then. At some time shortly thereafter they offered a subscription pricing plan, I think for about $50-80. I went for it, as in those days cross-platform file incompatibilities were quite a headache and DataViz offered a superb solution.

Lo and behold, since I bought that subscription (which was only good for about two version increments), I have NEVER had a use for this product. I confess, once or twice I borrowed a copy to do a file translation (to read an old M$ Works or WordPerfect document, or whatever) and it wasn't up to the task.

So in over ten years since, working in a university environment with many file-translation challenges, I never found a use for this product. I cannot imagine that you, dear reader, would either.

Save your money. Donate it to a digital divide effort that's not based on a has-been (perhaps never-was) group that had one sort-of big idea years ago and has been cashing in on consumer naivete ever since.
