NAME
       wm2xmcd - workman-to-xmcd CD database file converter


SYNOPSIS
       wm2xmcd [-v n] [-d outdir] [-c] workmandb ...


DESCRIPTION
       Similar in function to xmcd, workman is a CD audio player utility for
       the X window system, but uses the XView/Open Look interface.  Wm2xmcd
       is a simple program that converts workman CD database files to the xmcd
       format.  A specified workman CD database file is used as input and Xmcd
       CD database files are generated.


OPTIONS
       Wm2xmcd supports the following options:

       -v n   Specifies level of verbosity of output diagnostics.  Currently
              the levels 0 through 3 are supported.  Level 0 is the "quietest"
              whereas level 3 generates lots of messages.

       -d outdir
              Specifies the output directory.  The default is cddb under the
              current directory.  If the -c option is also specified, then
              subdirectories under outdir will be created.

       -c     With this option, wm2xmcd will prompt the user to type a
              category name for each CD entry to be converted.  Each category
              will be a subdirectory under the output directory.


NOTES
       Workman uses a complex multi-line track title description scheme,
       whereas xmcd uses a simple list of single-line titles.  Xmcd has
       flexible free-form text fields associated with the CD as well as each
       track.  Wm2xmcd currently expands the multi-line workman track entries
       into a format that fits the xmcd list, but does not use the free-form
       text fields.

       Some workman database keywords are ignored by this utility, notably
       those that correspond to workman features that are irrelevant in xmcd.
