Buttons 3.6 menu conversion utility
(C) Copyright 1993
Rockland Software Productions
PURPOSE:
The CONVERT program (convert.exe) allows you to convert Buttons v3.5
menus to Buttons v3.6 menus.
SYNTAX:
CONVERT <oldfilename> <newfilename>.
RESTRICTIONS:
The .DAT file and .DA2 file for the v3.5 menu must be in the same
directory.
NOTES:
v3.5 menus are stored in 2 files, one with a .DAT extension and one with
a .DA2 extension. v3.6 menus are stored in a single file with a .MNU
extension. Use the v3.5 .DAT file's filename for the old filename, and
use a .MNU extension for the new filename.
CONVERT will convert program, batch, screen, view, and edit buttons.
All other button types are ignored (their functions are now menu picks
in v3.6). Background color and fillpattern are converted. Wallpapers,
background type, and screen VOC are set to their default v3.6 values.
You will need to copy the batch files for any batch buttons converted to
your Buttons v3.6 directory. Yu will also need to edit any v3.5 batch
button batch files so they contain only the commands that appear between
the REM statements.
EXAMPLE:
To convert v3.5 menu startup.dat to v3.6 menu oldstart.mnu, at the dos
prompt enter:
convert startup.dat oldstart.mnu
