Data files from previous releases of the MeatAxe may also be unreadable because the file format has changed. . This program provides a way to exchange data files in such cases without having to convert to text format using ZPR , ZCV . The input may be any file. CONV will detect automatically if an input file is a MeatAxe data file, perform the necessary operations, and replace the input file with the converted file.
MeatAxe files remain unchanged.
The -o option converts files to an older format. Note that conv -o does not necessarily reverse a previous conv . There is no backup of the original file.
