# ConvertHandler.pl(1p)

A utility for converting handlers from earlier version of News Clipper

## NAME

ConvertHandler.pl - A utility for converting handlers from earlier version of News Clipper

## SYNOPSIS

**ConvertHandler.pl** \<handler1\>*\<handler2\>*...\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **ConverHandler.pl** command. It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.\
 **ConvertHandler.pl** is a program that will upgrade a handler from a earlier version of News Clipper. Handlers are the extensible mechanism by which News Clipper can be customized to acquire and display information from new data sources.

## OPTIONS

Give **ConverHandler.pl** the name of the handlers which you want to convert.
