- Instructions for MS_5_6.TTP --------------------------------------------------

- be distributed for profit or without this text file.
-
- The format of .MLS files for versions of MolSys from v0.74 onwards has changed
- slightly from earlier releases. Old (type 5) files must be converted into new
- (type 6) files before loading into MolSys. This may be done by loading them
- into MSC and re-saving them one-by-one, or by using the supplied converter
- program, MS_5_6.TTP. To use, double click on the program, and type in the file
- specification of the files to convert. This filespec may contain wildcard
- characters. For instance:
-
- M:\MLS\TEST.MLS
-
- converts only the file TEST.MLS in the folder M:\MLS\, whilst:
-
- *.MLS
-
- converts all the .MLS files in the current directory.
- Note that MS_5_6 is quite intelligent, and it will not attempt to convert
- non-MolSys files, or ones which have already been converted to type 6 files.
- MS_5_6 can handle a maximum of 256 files at once, and needs enough room free
- on disk to hold another copy of the largest file to convert. The size of the
- converted files is exactly the same size as the originals.
