	Usage: conv -l|p [-?] filename


DESCRIPTION: 
This program converts pipe delimited records in a flatfile
database into formage logfile format or the other way around.


OPTIONS:
The following command line options are acceptable:

	-l	convert records in a FORMAGE LOGFILE to a  
		pipe delimited format for a flat file database
		The field order may vary when converting from
		the formage logfile format because formage is not
		bound to a fixed write order when updating its
		logfile.  So, there is no way to anticpate the
		order of the fields when converting the formage
		logfile into pipe delimited records.  

		So, the best option is to open the new
		pipe delimited file in Microsoft Excel and
		cut and paste the columns to be in the
		proper order (see -p option) before using the
		pipe delimited file to convert back to a
		formage logfile format.

	-p	convert records in a PIP DELIMITED FLATFILE 
		DATABASE to a formage logfile format.  The field
		order is fixed and must be:

		id|datatitle|source|callnum|workstation|description

	-?	help notes on program usage


APPENDING RECORDS:
To append converted records to the target file
use the UNIX append operator >> in your command
line statement.

OVERWRITING RECORDS:
To rewrite (erase all current records and replace
with the newly converted records) the target file 
use the UNIX write operator > in your command
line statement.

	$ conv -l cdrom.db > cdrom.txt


EXIT CODES:

	0 	- no errors
	1	- target file not found
	2 	- cannot read filename

	5	- no records in target file to convert
