CONVERSION:

    Executing the Conversion Utility by following the preceding instructions
    will bring up a screen similar to the Company Selection menu of Tally.

    Select a company.  If it is a Tally dss 4.5 company, you are asked to
    confirm conversion, and the Data is converted into Tally eis 5.0 format.

    Selecting a Tally eis 5.0 company simply reports a 'Converted!' message.


    For converting Data in different directories, modify the 'Data' path 
    in the TALLY.INI file (as would be done for Tally eis 5.0 itself).

NOTES:

    The Conversion utility will run in Black & White only (even if you have
    a Color Monitor, and TALLY.INI is correctly set up for Color).

    The Conversion utility will NOT use any external TDL files (even if the
    TALLY.INI states and includes User TDL files).
