LWCON

Converts a McIDAS-OS2 LW file to a McIDAS-X LW file.

Format

LWCON sfile dfile [keywords]

Parameters

sfile

source LW file in McIDAS-OS2 format

dfile

destination LW file name

Keywords

FLIp=

ALL

byte flips all words in the file (default=does not flip words consisting entirely of ASCII text)

Remarks

Use LWCON to convert LW files from the OS/2 format to the Unix format. The file must consist of 4-byte integers and/or character data. This program will fail if the file contains integers representing valid 4-byte ASCII characters.

Examples

Suppose you transfer a McIDAS-OS2 file named OUTLUSA to a Unix workstation and change the file name to TEMPFILE . To convert this file to a McIDAS-X format, enter this command:

LWCON TEMPFILE OUTLUSA

This entry converts the file TEMPFILE , which is in the McIDAS-OS2 format, to a McIDAS-X format and renames it OUTLUSA (its original name).
