Appendix E TFORMCVT: Converting
From TGAL to TFORM
11387 Tandem Computers Incorporated E-1
TFORMCVT is a utility that provides a simple migration path from existing
TGAL files to TFORM files. TFORMCVT accepts a file containing TGAL
commands and creates an edit file containing the TFORM commands that
provide similar formatting. This appendix gives an overview of the
operation and functioning of TFORMCVT.
To invoke TFORMCVT, you use an implied RUN command at your
command interpreter:
TFORMCVT / [ IN infile ] [ , OUT outfile ] / TGAL
infile
is an edit file containing valid TGAL commands, or a terminal from
which text and valid TGAL commands will be entered. If you omit the
IN parameter, TFORMCVT accepts input from your home terminal.
outfile
is an edit file to which TFORMCVT will send its output. The file must
not now exist; if it does, TFORM sends you a duplication file error
message. If you omit the OUT parameter, TFORMCVT sends its
output to your home terminal.
TGAL
indicates that the input is a TGAL file. The output is automatically a
TFORM file.
You can also include standard RUN command options, such as NOWAIT,
between the slashes. (For more information on using the RUN command
from your command interpreter, see the GUARDIAN 90 Operating Systems
Utilities Reference Manual.
