Direction for data conversion use

Syntax: CONVERS.EXE <ImportFileName> [/D]
<ImportFileName> ... Name of the file, from witch are data imported
/D ... The import file will be delated after the conversion

Excercise: C:\MERICK30\CONVERS.EXE C:\ACAD\EXPORT.DBF /D
It is expected, that data (into which converse) are in the current directory. The file C:\ACAD\EXPORT.DBF will be delated after the conversion.
