[destination directory] This must exist prior to running the Database Conversion Utility. If there are spaces in the path, enclose the path in double quotes (example: "c:\program files\temp"). NOTE: The Database Conversion Utility is located in the Insight Manager directory. If you run the Database Conversion Utlity from a command line in Windows 95, you may have to specify the entire path of the utility. HOW TO USE: 1.
