                              CONVERT
                            03/30/94 -med


The purpose of Convert is to convert a curve data record obtained
with the FBAT program from ASCII numbers into Real numbers.

As an example, given the command sequence as follows, the file 
CURVE0.TXT will contain a list of real numbers that are equal to 
the data points in curve zero of the 6500 or FP40. 

    FBAT -C1 25 0 >CURVE0.DAT
    CONVERT CURVE0.DAT CURVE0.TXT


The default is to have each number on a line by itself. 
If you want comma delimited data (all on one line), use the -D 
command in the CONVERT command line.

Example:   CONVERT CURVE0.DAT CURVE0.TXT -D


To make things easier, a batch file (GETCRV.BAT) has been provided 
which performs the action. As an example, to get the 6500 or FP40 
curve 0 data into a file called CURVE0.TXT, you would give the 
following command:


    GETCRV 0 CURVE0.TXT [-Cn] [-In] [-D]  
           ^  ^           ^     ^     ^
           |  |           |     |     | 
           |  |           |     |     makes comma delimited data
           |  |           |     |
           |  |           |     if using other than default IRQ      
           |  |           |
           |  |           if using other than COM1    
           |  |
           |  file to put real numbers in 
           |
