+.SH NAME
+uuconv \- convert UUCP configuration files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B uuconv 
+\-i type \-o type [-p program] [standard UUCP options]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The 
+.B uuconv
+program can be used to convert UUCP configuration
+files from one format to another.  This can be useful for
+administrators converting from an older UUCP package.  Taylor UUCP
+is able to read and use old configuration file formats, but some
+new features can not be selected using the old formats.
+.PP
+The type of configuration file to read is specified
+using the `-i' or `--input' options.  The type of configuration file to
+write is specified using the `-o' or `--output' options.
+.PP
+The supported configuration file types are `taylor', `v2', and
+`hdb'.  For a description of the `taylor' configuration files, see
+*Note Configuration Files::.  The other types of configuration files
+are used by traditional UUCP packages, and are not described in this
+manual.
+.PP
+An input configuration of type `v2' or `hdb' is read from a compiled
+in directory (specified by `oldconfigdir' in `Makefile').  An input
+configuration of type `taylor' is read from a compiled in directory by
+default, but may be overridden with the standard `-I' or `--config'
+options.
+.PP
+The output configuration is written to files in the directory in
+which 
+.B uuconv
+is run.
+.PP
+Some information in the input files may not be representable in the
+desired output format, in which case 
+.B uuconv 
+will silently discard it.
+The output of 
+.B uuconv
+should be carefully checked before it is used.
+The 
+.B uuchk(8)
+program may be used for this purpose.
+.PP
+The `-p' or `--program' option may be used to convert specific `cu'
+configuration information, rather than the default of only converting
+the `uucp' configuration information.
