As shipped in IRIX 6.5.30. Added in IRIX 6.5.19.

     NAME
          dtconvertvf - convert VUE 3.0 action/filetype files to DT
          syntax

     SYNOPSIS
          dtconvertvf

     DESCRIPTION
          The dtconvertvf utility is a filter script for converting
          VUE 3.0 action and filetype databases to the new CDE 1.0
          datatypes syntax.  If the input is a VUE 3.0 filetype file
          (*.vf) then its output will be converted to a CDE 1.0
          datatypes file.  It is up to the user to name the output
          file accordingly.  To be recognized by CDE 1.0 it must have
          the .dt suffix.

     EXAMPLE
          To convert a single action/filetype file to CDE 1.0 syntax:
          sp 1 dtconvertvf < file.vf > file.dt

          To convert all action/filetype files in current directory to
          CDE 1.0 syntax:

          for vffile in *.vf; do
               dtfile=${vffile%.vf}.dt      dtconvertvf < $vffile >
          $dtfile
          done
