LYNX to .+SDL CONVERTER

 This program will convert a standard
Lynx (.LNX) file to a Self Dissolving
Lynx file. This is a lot handier than
having to use the Lynx Dissolve+4
program. There are a few restrictions
in that you will not be able to convert
a Lynx of over 100 disk blocks in
length and this program will only run
on the Plus/4.

 The program will prompt you for the
name of the Lynx file that you want to
convert. Just enter the name of the
file, WITHOUT the .LNX suffix. Then
you will be prompted to enter the name
that you want the converted file to
have.

 There are many versions of C64 Lynx,
some of them will not convert. Try it
anyway. If you've used the +4 Lynx
maker it will be okay.

 The program will then write a new
self-dissolve header to the original
Lynx program and create a .+SDL suffix
to identify it as a +4 Self Dissolving
Lynx. You can now copy or transfer it
to any disk that you want.

 NOTE: When the new program is written
to your workdisk, the directory is
rewritten a bit different than normal.
It creates a "parallel" header with the
old program. You will note that the
disk Blocks Free count will only
reflect the creation of the new header.
So, if you scratch a .+SDL or the Lynx
file... be SURE to Validate (COLLECT)
the disk. This will ensure that the
directory will be cleaned up. If you
copy the newly created .+SDL file to
another disk, the block count will be
correct.

 To dissolve the .+4SDL, simply LOAD
and RUN it. Be sure that you have
enough free disk space for it to
dissolve into. The original file will
not be erased.
