- Usage
- -----
-
- To convert an ASCII file from one system to another you must
- use MultiCV as follows:
-
- multicv -xxx2yyy srcfile destfile
-
- where
-
- xxx = source system, i.e. one of ami, dos or mac
- yyy = destination system, i.e. one of ami, dos, mac
- srcfile = source file name.
- destfile = deestination file name
-
- Note that cannot be xxx = yyy (obvious).
-
- For instance to convert the ASCII file myfile.txt from Amiga to MS/DOS you
- can use
-
- multicv -ami2dos myfile.txt dosfile.txt
-
- where dosfile.txt is the name of the destination (dos) file.
-
- If no source nor destination file name are provided the
- input is read from stdin and the output is sent to stdout, so that we
- can pipe the output (and/or the input), as in the following example:
-
- multicv -ami2dos <dosfile.txt | multicv -dos2ami | more
