DESCRIPTION
     These utilities convert files written with the overloaded 7-bit national
     fonts to the Internation Standards Organization (ISO) 8-bit format. The
     overloaded fonts include any with a specific language suffix (for
     example, f7x13.french, or din_f7x11.german). If you created and/or edited
     a file using one of the national fonts, that file is a candidate for
     conversion.

     You are not required to convert files, but probably will want to because

     1. The overloaded fonts replace certain ASCII characters with national
        ones, have that subset of ASCII characters and the national characters
        in one file. The 8-bit fonts available as of SR10 include all the
        ASCII characters and the national characters.

     2. The 8-bit fonts also include a wider range of national characters, so
        you can enter any character in any western European language. This was
        not always possible with the overloaded fonts. For example, there was
        not enough space in the overloaded font to include all the French
        characters, but they all exist in the 8-bit fonts.

     There are two parameters to the conversion utilities. You must provide
     the name of the file you want to convert (input_file) and your
     output_file. If output_file already exists, the utilities abort.

     The default location for the utilities is /usr/apollo/bin.
