NAME
     cnvils - convert data between dbase and ILS formats

SYNOPSIS
     cnvils [ (-i item) (-l) ] [ (-o item) (-h history) ] ilsfile
     dbfile

DESCRIPTION
     cnvils copies data from existing dbase files  into  new  ILS
     files  or  updates existing dbase files with data from whole
     ILS files.  Default operation copies speech  item  into  ILS
     sampled data file.

     Options and their meanings are:

     -I         Identify program and exit.

     Dbase to ILS conversions:

     -isp       Copy speech item from dbase  file  into  new  ILS
                sampled data file.

     -ilx       Copy excitation item from dbase file into new ILS
                sampled data file.

     -ifx       Overlay Fx item from dbase file onto existing ILS
                analysis file.

     -l         Generate label file from  TX  data  when  copying
                waveforms from dbase to ILS formats.

     -iitem     Select input item type and subtype.  This  switch
                also actuates appropriate conversion from dbase.

     ILS to dbase conversions:

     -osp       Copy sampled data into SP item.

     -olx       Copy sampled data into LX item.

     -ofx       Copy fundamental frequency contour into FX item.

     -ofx       Copy fundamental frequency from ILS analysis file
                to an FX item.

     -osy       Copy  processed  formant   estimates   from   ILS
                analysis file to an SY item.

     -o fm      Copy raw formant estimates from ILS analysis file
                to an FM item.

     -hhistory  Use the string "history" in the history field  of

                the  created  item.  This should include the name
                of the process that ils  has  performed  and  the
                item  number  of  the items in the file acting as
                input.  For example,  re-synthesized  lpc  speech
                may use: -h "sns(1.01)".

INPUT ITEMS
     1.xx       Any speech item.

     2.xx       Any excitation item.

     3.xx       Any period data item (for labels file).

     4.xx       Any Fx item.

OUTPUT ITEMS
     1          ILS processed speech

     2          ILS processed lx

     4          ILS processed fundamental frequency.

     7          ILS processed synthesizer control parameters

     12         ILS processed raw formant estimates

BUGS
     History fields for created items not updated correctly.  Use
     "-h  hist"  switch  or  program  "hfix" to fix up history as
     required.
