                    README - CONVERSION UTILITIES
                    -----------------------------


The programs and source code in this directory are utilities
for converting Cyberware Echo datasets into various other
formats.  They are all in the public domain - and all have
some personality problems.  Call Cyberware for support.

The programs will need to be compiled on your host.  They are
thought to work on Silicon Graphics, Sun, and Hewlett-Packard
workstations.  They will not work on IBM PC type systems.
Compilation instructions are included in the source code.

echoascii       A program which will convert the
                Cyberware data into a tabular ACSII listing.
                Provides options for various formats.  Completely
                documented in the source code.

echoascii.c     The source code for echoascii.

cyconvert       A program which converts the Cyberware data
                into various industry standard formats.
                See the source code.

cyconvert.c     The source code for cyconvert.

cyges           A program to convert Cyberware data to an IGES file.
                See README_CYGES.  Sources not provided.

cytoslice       A program which converts the Cyberware data into slices
                at any pitch and resolution.  Has AutoCAD output option.

cytoslice.c     The source code for cytoslice.

cyfile.c        Source code for accessing Cyberware type files.

cyfile.h        More source code, #included when using cyfile.c
                functions.

echo.h          More source code, often #included in utilities.

sample.c        A simple example on how to access the Cyberware data
                files using cyfile.c functions.
