    Hi All,

    Every so often I see files named "cnvscr.detail" and "cnvscr.out" show up in my $LAWDIR/{prodline} directory.  The files appear to be empty.

    Can anyone tell me what these are?  Any concerns with deleting them?

    Thanks!

      Kelly....

      cnvscr is a command that apparently sometime used to convert .scr files.    I've never had any use for them, but I don't think it would hurt removing them.  However they may just reappear at some point.   They also appear in my $LAWDIR/pl as well...


          Usage:  To convert .scr files to a 2.0 Environment format
                  A list of forms with detail or long text is put in
                  /lawdir/prodline/cnvscr.detail
                  Other program output is put in /lawdir/prodline/cnvscr.out
                  Conversions:
                  1.  If the form has no '|'s, convert '^' to '~'.
                  2.  Insert '|' where ever I can.

           Syntax: cnvscr [-g] [-] ProductLine [SystemCode] [PgmCode(s)]
                              g  - Remove .oldscr (used by bldopd)
                              - Convert PROG.scr.n
