# Convert xxWIND File

All xxWIND files must be converted before they will work with Resource Manager versions 5.00 and above. To convert these files, follow these steps:

1. Copy 50WIND from the RM media utils directory to the progRM directory.
2. RUN "50WIND".
3. Enter the ID of the application you want to convert.
4. Repeat step 3 for each application needing conversion.
5. Exit 50WIND.
6. Copy new xxWIND file(s) onto your media.

Old xxWIND files have the extension .OLD. The new windows definitions have the ability to return the value from any of the displayed columns to GENINPUT. In previous versions you could return only the contents of column one. The program 50WIND is also available under the name SD50WIND on the version 6.0 Software Development Utilities diskette.
