CardConv Ver 1.1
(c) 1990,91 by DATA CONSULT, 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.
*** Update Note ***
Changes from Version 1.0 to 1.1
Fixed bug when trying to convert more than 260 cards. This release now reads
up to 1350 cards. Sorry for the long time delay to fix this bug.
*** Version 2.0 Announcement ***
Version 2.0 will completely work under the Windows 3.0 environment, as soon as
Borlands Pascal for Windows will be available in Germany.
Feel free to give me some comments / suggestions for that release.
_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.
For any ideas, comments feel free to contact me:
