Just received my update today.  After trying it out for a few minutes
I have to say that I'm impressed.  The translator is now built in and
is extensible with autoloaded filter programs.  It supports conversion
to and from straight text, MacWrite and Microsoft's RTF format.
Translation appears to be pretty fast.  Certainly much faster than the
one included with 1.0.

I like the new features.  Most everything seems well thought out.
About the only thing I particularly miss is the ability to specify
spacing around paragraphs.  It's a pain to have to insert empty
paragraphs and then adjust their line spacing.
