SBS_Converter by Marcsello

This is a nice tool to convert a huge text into a file readable by StandardBooks. You can simply read a continuous text and this tool will convert and split it so it can be used for books in game.

The new Windows GUI comes on the summer holiday (now I haven't got many time)

Sorry for the adf.ly but, I really out of money
