7.1 Commands

CON VERT

Format: CONVERT infile [/ FORMAT] [outfile] [/ qualifiers...]

Description: Converts from one file format to another or changes the layout of a file. Valid input file formats are text, PostScript, and T4; valid output file formats are T4 and PCL. If the output file is not specified, it defaults to the name of the input file, but with a .T4 file type. The current user directory is assumed for both files, unless otherwise specified. If the / FORMAT qualifier is not used after the input file name and does not have a .T4 or .PS file type it is assumed to be text. If the output file is specified without

/FORMAT and does not have a .PCL file type, it will be made T4 format.
