VB2AFP

Use this utility to convert files written in variable block record format.

For instance, Documerge creates print streams and printer resource files which have variable block record format. You can use this utility to remove that formatting and create a file which you can use as an AFP print stream.

AFP or Metacode printer resource files (AFP page segments, AFP overlays, Metacode FRMs, and so on) may also be in variable block format. Other utilities expects these files to be in their native format as does the printer. You can use this utility to remove the variable block formatting from either AFP or Metacode printer resource files.
