010Editor has a more complete plug-in library, if we can convert them, it will attract a lot of people.

@rootkiter Realistically, it will be hard-to-impossible to achieve 100% conversion of .bt files, as they are imperative (telling how to read data) and KS being declarative (telling what is in the data).

Partial or semi-automatic conversions might be possible, but I'm not aware of anyone working on a project list this. If anyone feels like doing it — please go ahead.

@rootkiter , not very related, but if you want to work on a convertor into ksy, not necessarly from 010, but just looking for a way to utilize others work to get ready to use KS specs without much effort of creating them from scratch, you may want to look at #383 and #292.
