No problem, Joe. There are a few dependencies on the DBG/400 utilities I 
have (common runtime programs/files etc) but it would be easy to bundle 
those together. The tool already has convertion options to text/html, so 
you could add pdf in there and put the conversion code in the routine/API 
that handles all the subfile options. Let me know off-list if you want 
any more info.
