FConvert v0.8
(15.06.95)
by
Alex Van Boxel
Introduction
============
FConvert is a command driven utility to convert your existing ASCII cookie-
files. It will first examine your input file and automatically take the
most likely conversion algorithm. Please remember that FConvert only
recognises and converts one of 3 formats shown below.
Features
========
- Converts 3 formats
- Automatic format detection
- Supports DOS, UNIX and Mac text files
- FreeWare
Installation.
=============
Place FConvert.exe in a valid path.
Usage
=====
The syntax is "FConvert <input file> <title> [creator]". The <input file>
and the <title> must be given, the <creator> is optional.
The <input file> is your ASCII cookiefile, while the <title> is the output
Fortuna cookiefile title. Take care with the choice of the title, because
it will be embedded in your cookiefile. Simply renaming the file will not
change the title. The embedded title is not yet used but will be used in
the future. The <title> plus the ".fna" extension will automatically be
the output filename . You can always rename it later, but keep the .fna
extension. When you choose to give a <creator>, that name will be
embedded in the output file.
WARNING:
FConvert only converts 3 formats. If the input file is an unsupported
format, FConvert will take the default algorithm without warning.
So please check the output file before releasing it.
