NAME
thconvert — Therion data update conversion script
SYNOPSIS
thconvert
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents thconvert, which is part of the therion package.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
thconvert is a script that attempts to update data created with earlier versions of therion. There were incompatible data format changes made in therion 0.2.6, 0.2.10 and 0.2.12. These changes are, unfortunately, not compatible between therion versions so data must be converted.It is written in perl.
To use the script change directory to the directory containing your therion data. Then run thconvert. It will recurse down the tree looking for .th, .th2 and thconfig files and updating them. The files changed are listed followed by the number of changes of each type made in each file.
The version 0.2.6 change was to the -station, -name and -id attributes. -name is replaced by -id, and -station is replaced by -name. The version 0.2.10 change is that data and enddata are replaced by centreline and endcentreline. The version 0.2.12 change is that the export command in thconfig files has a changed syntax for the projection given after the 'map' or 'atlas' specifier.
OPTIONS
thconvert takes no options.
