The KilletSoft freeware program CONVERT converts dBase, CSV, SDF and MySQL data bases to the required data formats and character sets. The program can be started from the command line or can be used with the user interface. The data can be filtered horizontal and vertically and sorted in any orders. Thus the import of the data in any data base management system or file system will be possible. With the program for example you can convert dBase data into the SDF format (Simple Document Format) or into the CSV format (Comma Separated Value). For the input and output files character sets can be selected as ANSI (Windows), ASCII / OEM, Unicode and UTF8. For the import in MySQL or SQL data bases the necessary "CREATE TABLE" script can be generated. Further the selection of the data on data fields and data records is possible. In addition the data can be sorted on base of the data fields. Data from several files can be joined to a common file. A help file contains global information about the program in form of a program intern electronic manual. The Englisch or German language help can be called with the "Help" button while the program is running. Normally you must select only the data format you need. The usually common parameters are already preset. Proceed as follows: 1. If necessarily join several dbase files to a new single dbase file. 2. Open this or an other dBase, CSV or SDF input file with "Open input file". 3. Select all characteristics and data selections, which are needed for your data format. 4. Write the converted data with "Write output file" into a file. The program is in most cases self-describing. When running over with the mouse pointer you receive continuous assistance in yellow supported Tooltip fields.
