I must be dense because I can not figure out how to use the conversion program. 
I have spent a solid 9 hours on the computer today and have not been able to do what I thought would be relatively simple.
I have been writing Net Epic for v2 then got v3. I have most of v2 version going (still a few bugs). I have been trying to learn v3 but have a ways to go. Then I thought I would try a shortcut and convert the v2 file to v3.
I have tried both my NetEpic and EpicA but have gotten no where.
HELP!
Can someone guide me through this?
1) where should the converter be downloaded to/unzipped to?
2) walk me through the proceedure.
Net Epic (v2 files) [NEP] are in c:\ArmyBuilder\data
NetEpic (v3 files) are to be in c:\ArmyBuilderEX\data
This is what I have been trying:
C:\ArmyBuilderEX>
ab2conv c:\armybuilder\data\NEp c:\armybuilderex\data\NetEpic
ab2conv c:\armybuilder\data\EPI c:\armybuilderex\data\EpicA
C:\ArmyBuilderEX>ab2conv :\armybuilder\data\EPI :\armybuilderex\data\EpicA
And this is what I get:
Wrong number of parameters specified.
Usage: ab2conv v2folder extension target [-comments] [-split]
v2folder - directory in which to find V2 files for conversion
extension - file extension used for game system to convert
target - directory where converted V3 files will be placed
-comments - include V2 attributes as record comments (optional)
-split - save core record types to different data files (optional)
Maybe I am to tired or just missing something. I would be thankful for any help. I believe my programming would be much easier if I could get a converted file to work from.
If anyone has anything on any Epic system let me know. At the rate I am moving I will be dead of old age before I finish this.
