Problem

Symptoms: A customer is trying to convert a DisplayWrite IV file using a wildcard, (e.g., Input file name: C:\WP51\*.* and Output file name: C:\WP51\*.WP5. After he presses the letter C for his conversion choice, he receives an error message "Unable To Open File ...*.WP5." Solutions: No matter which third party software program you convert from, the syntax for using wild cards for input/output filenames for CONVERT.EXE on the DOS command line, has to be the same as the DOS filespec. For example, if the input file is the output file must be , or if the input file is *. the output file must be *., or if the input file is *.* the output file is *.*. The files must be converted to a different directory or else CONVERT.EXE will try to convert the already converted files.
