Hope it's ok I post this here, but when I try to convert from EB3 to SF2 EMXP 3.01.02 crashes.  I'll do more testing to see if I can get more specific details.

I don't think it's very useful to post this kind of general statements on this forum.
For problems with EMXP, especially crash problems, please contact me directly on my e-mail address (esynthesist at yahoo dot com).
In the rare situations where EMXP would actually crash instead of giving a proper error screen, the crash is typically caused by the presence of very strange or unexpected data in the source file.
To fix the problem, I often need the specific source file which caused the crash.

I'm pretty sure there's no general problem in EMXP regarding conversions from EB3 to SF2.
I just performed a batch conversion of 20 factory EB3 banks of 4MB each, and the conversion was successful.

I post here because someone either has or will experience the same problem.  Having said that, I consider myself very lucky to have EMXP at my disposal and will contact you directly in the future.

It was just one EB3 file that caused the crash.  Unfortunately, it was the very first in the list.  Thanks again for your help esynthesist!

It's reassuring to hear it's not a major issue.
But I'm still interested in the EB3 file causing the crash. Because EMXP should never crash, so I'd like to fix this anyway to improve the quality of EMXP.
