CardConv Ver 1.0
(c) 1990 by Robert Schoettl
CardConv is a small file coverter which brings Card-Data from MS-WINDOWS CARD.EXE
program into ASCII format, readable with common database or wordprocessing
programs.
_CardConv_Syntax_
CARDCONV cardfile.CRD newfile.ext delimiter [/I][/E][/C]
cardfile WINDOWS cardfile with extension
newfile holds converted data
delimiter field delimiter (up to 3 characters long)
* [/I] include card-index line as record content
* [/E] output only card-index line
* [/C] convert German special characters (ÄÖÜäöüß)
* These parameters are optional and can be mixed in any order.
_CardConv_Operation_
The main purpose for creating CardConv was to get collected addresses
from the Windows CARD-Program into a mailmerge-format for MS-WORD.
Each cardfile entry is seen as one record and ends with a CRLF.
Each line within a cardfile entry is separated by a given delimiter.
(MS-WORD for example uses the ';'-character).
And that's all it does!
You can use CardConv only with files which contain pure text-records.
If you use it with card files which contain graphic informations you
will get garbage-results.
