NAME

convertvf — Convert VUE 3.0 action/filetype files to DT syntax.

SYNOPSIS

convertvf

DESCRIPTION

Convertvf is a filter script for converting VUE 3.0 action and filetype databases to the new CDE 1.0 datatypes syntax.  If the input is a VUE 3.0 filetype file (∗.vf) then its output will be converted to a CDE 1.0 datatypes file.  It is up to the user to name the output file accordingly.  To be recognized by CDE 1.0 it must have the, .dt, suffix. 

EXAMPLE

To convert a single action/filetype file to CDE 1.0 syntax:

convertvf < file.vf > file.dt

To convert all action/filetype files in current directory to CDE 1.0 syntax:

for vffile in ∗.vf; do
dtfile = ${vffile%.vf}.dt
convertvf < $vffile > $dtfile
done
