Kaleidoscope to Krystal Effect Translator
If the disk was formatted by Kaleidoscope, CATALOG.DAT and
GVGLABEL files will also appear in the list. Kaleidoscope uses these files
for effect names and channel enables. The translator program does not use
the information in these files and ignores them.
NOTE: You must move the cursor into the Source Path field and press Enter before
available files will be listed. If you change the available files (by adding converted
files or swapping floppy disks) these changes are not updated on the on the list until
Enter is pressed with the cursor in the field.
Destination File Location
Destination Disk
Three standard disk selections can also be made for the destination disk
(A:, B:, C:). Each is mutually exclusive and the selection is reflected in the
Destination Path name. If the desired disk is not one of the selectable
options, you can change the disk name by editing the destination path (see
below).
Destination Path
After selecting a destination disk, the path name can be modified by
moving the mouse to the Destination Path window and pressing the left
mouse button. You can now enter a destination path to the location where
you wish to save the converted files, if necessary. If the last character typed
is not a backslash '\', this character is automatically inserted when the disk
files are retrieved.
If the desired disk is not one of the selectable options, you can use the left
arrow to move the cursor to the drive letter, delete it, and type in the
desired replacement. Then enter the remainder of the path, if necessary.
Once the destination path is correct, proceed to the file name process.
File Naming
Same
The Same setting is the default. This setting uses the current Kaleidoscope
effect file name, but changes the first character of the extension to a 'K'.
Example: Kaleidoscope “Effect.000” converts to Krystal “Effect.K00”
