of IdeaList v3.5.


What IL-Convert cannot do
-------------------------
Creating  comments,  converting other formats, looking for mistakes, sending 
faxes, making coffee...


How IL-Convert is used
----------------------
IL-Convert  is  a  simple  TTP  program. Starting it you have to order which 
files  to be converted. Either by the dialog after start from the desktop or 
by  a  command  shell. There is only one path to be set at one time. But you 
may use wild cards, so a complete directory can be converted.
Examples:

IDEALIST.IDA
  The file IDEALIST.IDA in the topic directory

*.*
  All INF and IDA files in the topic directory

*.IDA
  All IDA files in the topic directory

IDEALIST.*
  IDEALIST.IDA and IDEALIST.INF in the topic directory

C:\IDEALIST\PRINTER\HPDJ*.IDA
  All adaptation files beginning with "HPDJ" in this directory

C:\IDEALIST\INF\\*.INF
  All configuration files in this directory

The  old file is not deleted. The new file gets the old file's name with the 
new extension IXA or CNF.

Please  remember,  that no comments will be taken over from the old file. Of 
course  you  may  insert  new comments into the new files afterwards. But it 
won't  be as important as for the old formats because of the self explaining 
key words.
