WHY NOT AN AUTOMATIC CONVERSION TOOL ???
BECAUSE I'M TO LAZY TO WRITE ONE !!!

Here are the steps to convert the old preferences file format into the
new preferences file format:

1.) Rename "BEGIN TASK/WINDOW" to "BEGIN TASK/WINDOW/DEFAULT"
2.) Rename "REVISION = 0" to "REVISION = 1"
3.) Move all global variables like SECONDS, MICROS, AUTOSCALE,  SHIFT,
    COLOR, EXCEED_COLOR, ... into the first  declaration  part between
    "BEGIN TASK/WINDOW/DEFAULT" and END
    Don't move "TITLE" and "ZOOMTITLE".
4.) "BEGIN VARIABLES" stay unchanged

"BEGIN  STRINGS"  and "BEGIN GRAPHIC" are now mixed in one declaration
block:

5.) Rename "BEGIN STRINGS" to "BEGIN VARIABLES"
6.) Copy all  graphical definitions like "GRAPHIC = ..." into the  new
    declaration block ("BEGIN VARIABLES").
7.) If you  have defined a seperate height, color, or autoscale option
    for  a  particular  graphic  add  these  values after the variable
    seperated by a comma.

Example:
Old graphic definition:
  GRAPHIC = Pagefaults_per_update
  GRAPHIC_HEIGHT = 30
  GRAPHIC_COLOR = 2
  GRAPHIC_AUTOSCALE = FALSE

NEW graphic definition:
  GRAPHIC = Pagefaults_per_update, 30, 2, FALSE

You  can  use  the default height, color or autoscale option by simply
leaving out the values.
Example:
  GRAPHIC = Pagefaults_per_update,,, FALSE

This  uses  the  default  grapical height and the default pen no.  for
this graphic, but changes the autoscale option to FALSE.
Don't forget the commas between the options!

In version 1.1 there are two new options, see the guide file (History,
Preferences file - syntax) for more details on that.


8.) Delete the "BEGIN GRAPHIC" declaration

9.) Start VMMInformer V1.1


If you have problems or questions about that feel free to mail them to
me (email and snail address in the guide file).


Good luck and have fun,
                        Torsten.
