# thconvert(1)

Therion data update conversion script

## 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.
