WARPCONV
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 WarpConv is a command-line utility program that converts existing PLink-
 -compatible link files into the link file format required by WarpLink.
 WarpLink uses a Microsoft Link and Borland TLink compatible script file
 format that is also known as positional. Linkers, such as PLink and RTLink,
 use or are based on a PLink compatible script format, also known as free
 format.  Using WarpConv can shorten your learning curve if you are switching
 to WarpLink from one of these products.

 Technical Note:

 The terms link file, link script file, linker script and response file are
 used interchangeably.


 WarpConv Format

 Use the following format to start WarpConv at the DOS prompt:

    WARPCONV [options] [input_file] [output_file]

 Items in brackets are optional, WarpConv will prompt for file names if 
 necessary.  If no file extension is supplied, WarpConv will default to 
 the extension .LNK.  To specify a file name without an extension, place
 a period at the end of the name.


 Using WarpConv

 Like the other WarpLink utilities, WarpConv is easy to use.  You specify
 an input file, an output file, and options as desired.  You may either 
 supply the input and output file on the command-line or WarpConv will
 prompt you for them.  WarpConv will then convert your PLink response file 
 to the Microsoft Link format.

 You can display a help screen by entering the following at the DOS prompt:

    WARPCONV   ?

 WarpConv Options Details

 /nc  Do not keep translator comments in WarpLink response file.

 the WarpLink response file.  The /nc option will cause WarpConv to
 omit these comments in the WarpLink response file.


 /no  Do not automatically add OVLMGR.OBJ to object module list.

 Description

 WarpConv automatically adds the WarpLink overlay manager file to the
 list of object modules if overlay usage is detected.  The /no option will
 cause WarpConv to omit the overlay manager file from the response file.

 Description  

 WarpConv automatically provides warning feedback at the end of the
 translation process in certain situations where it detects possible
 incompatibilities.  The /nw option will instruct WarpConv not to display
 these warnings.
