NAME

admin-cgi/zero2one.pl - convert ROADS v0 multiple databases to ROADS v1 format

SYNOPSIS

 admin-cgi/zero2one.pl [-L language] [-C charset]
   [-s sourcedir]

DESCRIPTION

This Perl program converts ROADS version 0 databases into ROADS version 1 format - i.e. the Destination attribute in the template is used to indicate which collection of information the record belongs to, instead of having separate collections of templates for each database. As each template is added to the v1 database, the index is re-built to include it - if this option has been selected on the main zero2one.pl HTML form.

For security reasons, you need to be HTTP authenticated in order to run this program.
