NAME
  dtconvertvf - convert VUE 3.0 action/filetype files to DT syntax

SYNOPSIS
  dtconvertvf

DESCRIPTION
  The dtconvertvf utility is a filter script for converting VUE 3.0 action
  and filetype databases to the new CDE 1.0 datatypes syntax.  If the input
  is a VUE 3.0 filetype file (*.vf) then its output will be converted to a
  CDE 1.0 datatypes file.  It is up to the user to name the output file
  accordingly.	To be recognized by CDE 1.0 it must have the .dt suffix.

EXAMPLE
  To convert a single action/filetype file to CDE 1.0 syntax:

       dtconvertvf < file.vf > file.dt


  To convert all action/filetype files in current directory to CDE 1.0
  syntax:

       for vffile in *.vf; do
	       dtfile=${vffile%.vf}.dt
	       dtconvertvf < $vffile > $dtfile
       done
