# Convert Programs to PRO/5

All programs from previous versions must be converted to PRO/5. Follow these steps to convert your programs:

1. If the programs you want to convert are at a BBx Progression/4 level, you will not need to run any conversion programs on them to bring them to a PRO/5 level. These programs will run under PRO/5. The first time you SAVE a program under PRO/5, it will be automatically converted to a PRO/5 level, and you will not be able to load that program under BBx Progression/4.
2. Copy the contents of the utils directory on the RM media to a utils directory.
3. Add the utils directory to the prefix, using the Directories function in RM.
4. Change to the directory that contains the programs to be converted.
5. CALL “_p4conv” to convert your programs. The programs are converted in place and overwrite the P/3 versions.
