# bstyleconvert(1)

a Blackbox style conversion utility

## NAME

bstyleconvert - a Blackbox style conversion utility

## SYNOPSIS

**bstyleconvert** *files*...

## DESCRIPTION

**Blackbox** 0.70+ is committed to fully support the style syntax of previous versions, thus allowing older styles to be loaded and used.  However, if one of your favorite styles seems 'broken', you can try this utility.

**bstyleconvert** reads given old  **Blackbox** style file(s) (\<= 0.65) and produces according new style file(s), appending '-new' to original filename(s).\

## OPTIONS

This program does not support (nor need) any options.\

## SEE ALSO
