<Title>DESCRIPTION</Title>
<Para>The
<Literal>dtconvertvf</Literal> 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 <Filename>.dt</Filename> suffix.
</Para>
