  80 >&#13;If you used the default directory for installation, you should find the
  81 conversion tool in /usr/local/bin/convert. Before using it, some other files are
  82 necessary. You will find them in
  83 /usr/local/share/LinuxTraceToolkitViewer/convert/. Those are sysInfo and
  84 core.xml.
  85 </P
  86 ><P
  87 >&#13;sysInfo is a script that get informations about the traced computer. It should
  88 be invoked like this :

 101 >&#13;It created a file named sysInfo.out. This file has to be present in the current
 102 directory where the convert tool will be executed. I suggest that you choose a
 103 destination directory for converted traces right now, put sysInfo.out in it, at
 104 use it as current directory for running the convert tool.
 105 </P
 106 ><P
 107 >&#13;Once the sysInfo.out file is ready and you have a trace ready for conversion,
 108 you should invoke convert like the following example. This is for a uniprocessor
 109 computer. If you whish to get detailed explanation on the parameters, simply
 110 execute the convert tool without any. You may also wish to see the
 111 /usr/local/LinuxTraceToolkitViewer/convert/README file.
