- Introduction
- ============
-
- FConvert is a command driven utility to convert your existing ASCII cookie-
- files. It will first examine your input file and automatically take the
- most likely conversion algorithm. Please remember that FConvert only
- recognises and converts one of 3 formats shown below.
-
-
- Features
- ========
-
- - Converts 3 formats
- - Automatic format detection
- - Supports DOS, UNIX and Mac text files
- - FreeWare
-
-
- Installation.
- =============
-
- Place FConvert.exe in a valid path.
-
-
- Usage
- =====
-
- The syntax is "FConvert <input file> <title> [creator]". The <input file>
- and the <title> must be given, the <creator> is optional.
- The <input file> is your ASCII cookiefile, while the <title> is the output
- Fortuna cookiefile title. Take care with the choice of the title, because
- it will be embedded in your cookiefile. Simply renaming the file will not
- change the title. The embedded title is not yet used but will be used in
- the future. The <title> plus the ".fna" extension will automatically be
- the output filename . You can always rename it later, but keep the .fna
- extension. When you choose to give a <creator>, that name will be
- embedded in the output file.
-
- WARNING:
- FConvert only converts 3 formats. If the input file is an unsupported
- format, FConvert will take the default algorithm without warning.
- So please check the output file before releasing it.
