Re: Converting 32-bit to 16-bit

[Quoted] Use the "convert" option under "administration" and select the "binary-to-text" option. This will create a "formname.fmt" from the normal "formname.fmb". This is made up of all nice, printable characters that you can transfer to any other system running D2K. After the transfer, reverse the process and it creates a binary for the new operating system.

share and enjoy.
