-
- /TYPE is an optional override extension for input file names
- that don't have the proper suffix. It can be any of the
- above extensions. \".TXT\" can only be used as an output file with
- InSet captured text screens.
-
- -i is an optional flag to invert the bit values. This feature is
- useful for images that are primarily white background images since
- INSET will better preview these images if inverted.
-
- -f is an optional flag used in the conversion of text to graphics
- The .INF font file should be specified immediately after the 'f'.
-
- -r is an optional flag to set the resolution of output. This
- is useful when generating PCL output or determining the size
- of the ouput file when using a vector source file such as PIC
- or HPGL (default is 300).
- -m is an optional flag used to suppress the addition of a Macintosh
- resource header to the destination file. NOTE: This option used
- to be -h in the previous version.
-
- -c is an optional color flag to specify the number of colors in the
- destination file. The default colors are determined by colors
- in the source image or 2 in the case of PIC files.
-
- -bw is an optional flag used to force all colors to black and white.
-
- The following flags have been added for vector conversions:
- -l will rotate an HPGL file 90 degrees.
- -w and
- -h are optional flags used to specify width and/or height of the
- output image. The default is a width of five inches.
-
- -a is an optional flag used to modify the aspect ratio of the
- output image. It can be used with either the -w or -h flags,
- but not with both. The default aspect ratio is 1:1.
-
- -p is an optional flag used to set pen widths and remap pen colors.
- The syntax of this flag is -pxx:ww[,c]
- xx is the pen number, ww is pen width, and c is color (optional).
- The default pen width is 1, and the defult colors are mapped to
- the EGA palette.
-
- -z will cause CONVERT to load a program upon completion. The syntax is
- -zpgm [opt1] [optn]. Any arguments after the -z are taken as arguments
- for the chained program.
-
- -nff will suppress a trailing form feed from generated PCL files, and
- suppress the 'SHOWPAGE' and End-Of-File marker from generated
- PostScript files.
-
- Examples:
- CONVERT C:\INSET\TEST.PIX TEST.PCX
- converts TEST.PIX in the C:\INSET directory to TEST.PCX in
- the current directory.
- CONVERT A:*.* /PIX *.PCL
- converts all the files on the A: drive to HPCL files in
- the current directory.
- CONVERT SCREEN1.PIX /TXT SCREEN1
- converts SCREEN1.PIX, which is a text screen (no graphics)
- to an ASCII text file.
