Description: FIXed SCR49.run for version 7.0c Metropolis ! ! !****************************************************************************! The program SCR49.RUN distributed with Metropolis 7.0c has a bug. The hash code of the original program is 175-764-222-040. This program is used to convert screen (.s) files from Metropolis format to AlphaBASE 4.9g format. This involves a translation of the box and line drawing commands. These commands are stored differently in Metropolis than in AlphaBASE. The version of SCR49.RUN distributed with Metropolis 7.0c has a bug that causes a corrupted output file (.S2) under certain conditions. This version fixes that bug. The bug manifests itself when the Metropolis screen has graphics elements defines as in 'PRE DRAW' mode. This means that those graphics elements are drawn before the main text portion of the screen is drawn. This allows text to be 'overlaid' on top of lines and boxes. When the original SCR49.RUN is used to convert a screen file that has 'PRE'DRAW' graphics, the resultant output file (.S2) is corrupt and cannot be compiled by the AlphaBASE 4.9g screen compiler. The work around was to edit these screens and change any graphics elements from 'PRE DRAW' to 'POST DRAW' before running the conversion program. With this fixed version, this is no longer necessary.
