| Overview |
This
section outlines the steps required to convert an
existing Thoroughbred® application to ProvideX. The toolkit described herein is
located in the ‘*conv.tbd” directory and
consists of a number of programs which convert the
programs and data files from Thoroughbred® to PxPlus or
ProvideX.

| *Note* |
The
*conv.tbd directory will be found in the
‘lib’ directory where PxPlus was installed
along with the various other system utilities, the system
will replace the asterisks with underscores. For the
purposes of this documentation, we are assuming PxPlus
has been installed in "/pxplus"
thus "*conv.tbd" will be in
"/pxplus/lib/_conv.tbd" |

A few additional PxPlus
exclusive features can also help:

program name (as supplied on the ADDR
directive) or absolute pathname as given in the
PUB function.
- The INPUT directive allows for the inclusion
of both simple string variables in a validation
list for an input.
For example: INPUT @(5,5),X$:( YES$
=1000, NO$
=2000)
