CardConv Ver 1.0
(c) 1990 by Robert Schoettl

CardConv is a small file coverter which brings Card-Data from MS-WINDOWS CARD.EXE
program into ASCII format, readable with common database or wordprocessing
programs.

_CardConv_Syntax_

CARDCONV cardfile.CRD newfile.ext delimiter [/I][/E][/C]

cardfile	WINDOWS cardfile with extension

newfile	holds converted data

delimiter	field delimiter (up to 3 characters long)

* [/I]	include card-index line as record content

* [/E]	output only card-index line

* [/C]	convert German special characters (Ž™š„”á)

* These parameters are optional and can be mixed in any order.


_CardConv_Operation_

The main purpose for creating CardConv was to get collected addresses
from the Windows CARD-Program into a mailmerge-format for MS-WORD.
Each cardfile entry is seen as one record and ends with a CRLF.
Each line within a cardfile entry is separated by a given delimiter.
(MS-WORD for example uses the ';'-character).
And that's all it does!

You can use CardConv only with files which contain pure text-records.
If you use it with card files which contain graphic informations you
will get garbage-results.
