file listing of the converter package
The following is a listing of all the files included in the converter source zip archive, and their relationship
with the main program file. Files noted as required need to be in the same directory (folder) as the
converter program file (
c.exe
) in order for it to operate properly. Files noted as optional are not needed
for proper operation of converter, but are highly recommended to be kept together.

There are three external files used by converter which serve different purposes – all three of these must
be located in the same directory (folder) as the executable file (c.exe). The first file,
hardware.cfg
, is a
text file which holds the individual computer-specific hardware settings for the soundcard used. The file
default.set
is the base program file which is read from when converter is initially run, and updated
(written to) when converter is quit. The final file, called
c.cfg
, is read from at run-time and written to on
exit, and is used to store other computer-specific hardware settings adjustable from within converter. In
this way, programmed converter configurations (
.set
files) can be interchanged with other users, while
machine-specific settings remain tied to the particular machine on which converter is being used. At the
same time,
c.cfg
and
default.set
provide something akin to a ‘battery-backed memory’ so that
the last converter session, with all its settings, is automatically re-loaded and ready to be used the next
time converter is run.
