Have you ever tried to move your ToolManager-icons directory to another place ?
Did you rename your Harddisk or got a bigger one ?
Did your index finger get tired of endless clicking only to change 
he path of 42 icons ?


Here's the solution -- TM2Ascii.

TM2Ascii will read a ToolManager configfile, translate it to an ASCII (readable!) file,
now you can edit the filenames, e.g. find&replace all occurences of "Progs:Utilities/"
to "Work:Utilities" etc. After editing, use TM2Ascii again to convert the ASCII file
back to Toolmanager format. It is recommended only to change pathnames, although you
can edit >any< parameter in the converted configfile, but you have to read and
understand both ToolManager and TM2Ascii sources to do this.
. 
Most of the TM2Ascii sourcecode was `written` by cut&paste from the original Tool-
Manager sources, so its quite readable. Thanks to Stefan Becker !!


USAGE

TM2Ascii ENV:ToolManager.prefs ToolManager.config
This command will read the ToolManager configfile and write an Ascii representation
to your HardDisk as ToolManager.config

TM2Ascii ENV:ToolManager.prefs ToolManager.config WRITE
This command writes ToolManager.config back to ENV:ToolManager.prefs.
You should use another filename for the new prefsfile, or backup you configfile to
avoid accidents.
