CONVERT.DOC  for the Convert.EXE program.

*  MORE INFO on FORCED LOGS:
*
*       Says for example that you just started using IconUpdater and 
*  would like to force your BBS Membership file on all your users EXCEPT
*  those you are already members.  If you have WCPRO utilities then doing
*  so will be easy.
*
*      Remember that IconUpDater will not Force a File on a user if his
*  name is in that Force file Log.  So say that you have IconupDater set
*  up with the 1st definable menu option as RIPterm; then you most likely
*  do not want to force RIPterm on your users.  But you have your Member-
*  ship DOCs set as IconUpDater's definable menu option #2 (FORCEDB.LOG).
*
*    Run WCpro select USERS then do a MATCH on all users who are MEMBERS.
*  Then create a LIST; choose list by USER NAME only; then set output as
*  "COMMA DELIMITED"; and last name the file (FORCEDB.LOG) and F10. 
*
*  I would look at this new file you just create with a text editor to
*  insure that it is a list of your MEMBERS.  
*
*  Now run the program that came with IconUpDater called "CONVERT.EXE".
*  This program will convert the file you jsut created in WCpro to a
*  format that IconUpdater can read.
*
* * * *  It will ask you to enter the filename of the file you just
* * * *  created in WCpro.  Then it will ask you to enter the name of
*  * *   the output file.  It will default to ForcedB.log if you hit
*   *    return. REMEMBER that Forced.log is for the first menu option,
*   *    and ForcedB.log is for the second menu option!!!
*
*  Now IconUpDater will check this file before running; and will not 
*  Force the File under menu option #2 to any user list in ForcedB.Log;
*  or it will not Force a file under menu option #1 if the user's name
*  is in the Forced.log.
*
