Converting the User Database

The first time a ToolTalk 1.1 and compatible versions, ttsession is started, the user type database is automatically converted from the CE database to the new ToolTalk Types database. However, you can manually convert the current user database with the command:

ttce2xdr [ -xnh ] -d  user

describes the options for the ttce2xdr script.

Table A-1 ttce2xdr Script Options

-n
