BASEBALL CARD KEEPER (BCK) TO OYC CONVERSTION UTILITY Copyright 1994 by H.C.P. Services, Inc. All Rights Reserved USER MANUAL ---------------------------------------------- This utility will convert BCK files (data files) created by the Baseball Card Keeper software to OYC formated catalog files. USING THIS UTILITY ----------------------------------------- To use this utility copy it to the directory containing the BCK software. At the DOS prompt for that directory type: BCK_OYC You'll then be prompted to enter the filename for the BCK file you wish to convert. You can also enter a drive letter and path, if the file to be converted is located on another drive or in another directory. The utility will then convert the BCK file and create an OYC catalog file of the same name. Once the conversion is complete, copy the two files (they end with DAT and SET) created for each BCK file that was converted, to the directory containing your OYC software. OYC allows you to have up to 10,000,000 cards in a catalog. If you wish, you can combine individual catalogs, created by separate BCK files, into a single OYC catalog. This provides the advantage of letting you do several things: 1) You can get the complete total value for your entire collection, or any part of it. 2) You can find all the cards of a specific player, without regard to what year it was issued, or which company issued it. 3) You'll have a total count of the total number of cards in your collection. To combine OYC catalogs, use the "Copy Entries" feature on the Utilities Menu. This feature takes the entire contents of one catalog and copies it to (adding it to) another catalog. DO NOT ERASE YOUR ORIGINAL DATA FILE UNTIL YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN THE CONVERTED (the new OYC) FILE IS GOOD AND INCLUDES EVERYTHING. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This utility is provided to you at no cost as freeware.
