Kobold 2 -> Kobold 3 Converter
==============================

Many programs can work in cooperation with Kobold 2 or 2.5. But such
applications will not be able to easily communicate with the new Kobold
version 3.5. However, with this converter program, you can customize such
applications to work with Kobold 3.

  WARNING: this application modifies the targeted programs! These will not
  work with Kobold 2 or Kobold 2.5 anymore! It will automatically create
  unmodified backup copies that you should definitely keep safe somewhere.
  If a program does not start after the conversion, it probably has an
  integrated virus protection. In this case, contact the publisher in order
  to ask him to adapt the program to Kobold 3.

  Anti-virus programs will probably target the modified program files as
  corrupt when they check them. If you regularly use a virus checker, then
  you should immediately add the modified files known as valid in your
  anti-virus program.


Usage
-----


Simply drag the programs and related files to the KB2TOKB3.TTP converter,
which was available for Kobold 2 and will now do the same with Kobold 3.
Programs that are not affected will not be changed either, so theoretically
you can feed the converter with any file you like. The converter displays a
log of the changes carried out on the screen and in the KB2TOKB3.PRT file in
the converter boot path.

Each modified file is also backed up in the same directory. In this case, the
file is renamed with the BAK extension. Further files of the same name in the
same directory are given extensions ranging from BA0 to BA9. If the
modification did not succeed, you can simply delete the modified files and
rename these backup copies back to their original names.

Candidates for a conversion are, for example, GEMINI.APP, GEMINI.MSG,
GEMINI.RSC, EBACKUP.PRG or EASE.PRG (not required starting from version 3.5!).
