Yep. Generally, things like that have been deemed acceptable, as long as 
one isn't selling them. (It's a gray area, but apparently a fairly 
well-explored one.

There's no TFT-to-CC conversion yet, but I don't think it would be hard 
to do. If someone would come up with one, I'd post it to the MicroTactix 
web site.

Several PlainLabel-to-other systems conversions DO exist (Chill, 
Millennium's End and MasterBook), which pretty much work because PL is 
the underlying system for Compact. These can be found at the old 
PlainLabel site at http://plainlabel.galstar.com/PLFanPg.html .

Please do!
