And why are you determined not to get the capability to access brf files
when that capability is free?
I can see it if you had to pay for it, but if it is free and you stubbornly
refuse to use it, just because well you don't want to, then you reasonably
loose the right to complain.
NFBtrans, and even a windows interface for it, make it easy to convert brf
files to text.
