MegaBook 2.0 -> 3.0 File Converter
Version 1.0
By Tom Bampton
© 1996 Eden Software
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Converting old MegaBook v2.0 phonebooks is simple through the use of the fast
file converter provided.
Useage
~~~~~~
Run the program by double clicking on its icon. You will be prompted with a
requester asking to continue or quit and displaying some information about
the program.
To convert your files, select continue then select the file to convert.
You will the get another requester asking for the destination filename.
The file will then be converted ready for use with MegaBook 3.0.
Alternative
~~~~~~~~~~~
Alternatively, you can use the LoadOld.mbrx ARexx script to load MegaBook 2.0
files directly into MegaBook 3. This is fine for small databases but when you
have a large database it's a bit slow which is why the converter was written.
Other file converters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other file converters are available on request and if one isn't, it will be
written for you. They all operate in exactly the same way. The extra
converters supplied with this release archive depends on the size of the
distribution as if it gets too big, some will be missed out for size reasons.
