About a week ago I began working on the barebones for the hopefully next-gen VMU CD app... and to test the C++ classes I coded I decided to do the DCI <-> VMI/VMS command line tool I promised you long ago.

I know there are other tools to do this same job, but I think this is the first tool to handle both-way conversions (DCI <-> VMI/VMS) without any other parameter than source file (a DCI or VMI file) and destination file (for .DCI target) or resource name (for .VMI/VMS target).

Check this page http://www.bucanero.com.ar/verpost.php?id_noticia=181 for more info and download links.

Right now there's just a Win32 binary, but I´ll release the source code and a Linux version as soon as I clean up the code.

Please test this tool and post your comments.

Merry Xmas & happy hollidays!

Well no need to convert between formats for me (actually, might not be such a bad idea since Vorlem can upload them now?) but I've actually packed away my PC DC and serial cable, I just got a couple of 800 block memory cards and that's what I'm going to use instead.
