    Xto8SVX(1.0)                   Manual                   Xto8SVX(1.0)



    NAME
        Xto8SVX - Convert sound samples to 8SVX using datatypes.


    SYNOPSIS
        Xto8SVX INFILE/A,OUTFILE/A


    DESCRIPTION
        Xto8SVX is a simple program to convert sound samples to 8SVX. 
        It can read any sound file which is supported by the installed
        datatypes.

        The INFILE parameter specifies the sound file to convert.
        The OUTFILE parameter specifies the name of the converted
        sound file.

        The program returns a value of 0 if the file was converted
        sucessfully, and returns 20 if it fails.

        You can only convert one file at a time, but the program is
        PURE and can be made resident.

        I wrote it because I had no easy way of converting dozens of
        sound files down loaded from the internet to 8svx.


    EXAMPLES
        Xto8SVX UseTheForce.wav UseTheForce.8svx

        Alias ConvertSounds SPAT Xto8SVX [] %m.iff
        

    CREDITS
        The program was inspired by XtoILBM by Christopher Naas.


    BUGS
