- BMKCVT.EXE: Bookmark Conversion Utility
- ---------------------------------------
-
- This utility will convert gopher bookmarks created with the program PC
- Gopher III version 1.05 or earlier to the new format used by PC Gopher
- III version 1.06. It will open the old-format bookmark file and extract
- the bookmarks, copying them into a plain text file, which is what PC
- Gopher III uses for bookmarks now.
-
- If you run it over a bookmark file created with anything earlier than PC
- Gopher III v1.00, bad things will happen to you, and probably everyone
- in your immediate family. You have been warned.
-
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- To run BMKCVT, type
-
- BMKCVT <old filename> <new filename>
-
- at the DOS prompt, replacing <old filename> with the name of your
- old-format bookmark file, and <new filename> with the name of the
- new-format file you wish to create or add to.
-
- BMKCVT won't overwrite an existing file, and it opens the old bookmark
- file in read-only mode, so nothing gets damaged inadvertantly.
-
-
- Bugs
- ----
-
- There aren't any. If you'd like to report one anyway, send me mail
- (address below).
-
- BMKCVT was tested under plain vanilla DOS version 6.0. DON'T run it
- under Windows. DON'T run it if you have Stacker loaded. DON'T run it
- on a disk compressed by DoubleSpace. DON'T run it under DRDOS. DON'T
- run it with 13,432 weird little TSR pop-up calendars and screen savers.
- Just use plain old DOS, version 4.0 or greater, and everything will be
- hunky-dory.
