USE: converts v1 chr -> v2 chr
---
Chrconv is a remarkably simple utility, and that is a shame, because eventually you won't use it much at all.  But initially it will be of great value to everyone, because it converts from old v1 chrs to new v2 chrs.

The v2 chr it creates will emulate the animation behavior of a v1 exactly, so it should look and operate like you're used to.  This is useful, because writing animation strings and handling odd-shaped chrs may not be something that appeals to you just yet.  For example, the default animation string used by chrconv for walking north is:F16W10F17W10F16W10F15W10F18W10F19W10F18W10F15W10.

To use chrconv, simply execute it.  It will ask for the filename of the source v1 chr, and will convert it to v2 format. NOTE: it will overwrite the old chr, so you may want to back it up first.

enjoy!
