If you have earlier version of vietdos (less than 4.1), and
you have created 8 bit Vietnamese files or C programs, you'll need to convert
those files. Following are steps to do the conversion:
1) First, save the old "viet8to7" program as "old8to7"
2) Get the new "viet8to7" and "viet7to8" from the same place you get this
"vietdos" program (Sony archive or saigon mail server)
3) Create a batch file called "convert.bat", containing these lines:
old8to7 %1 > tempfile
viet7to8 tempfile > %1
erase tempfile
For your convenience, the file "convert.bat" is included in this
distribution.
4) Do the conversion. For ex. :
convert thisfile
The 7-bit format has not changed, that's why first we convert old 8-bit
to 7-bit, and then from the 7-bit format back to new 8-bit format.
