NAME
       vdltodmx - dmx configuration file parser and printer

SYNOPSIS
       vdltodmx infile outfile

DESCRIPTION
       vdltodmx  reads	the  input file, which should be in VDL configuration file format.  After a successful parse, a file in Xdmx configuration
       file format is written to the output file.

       The VDL file format is used with xmovie, which is available from http://www.llnl.gov/icc/lc/img/xmovie/xmovie.html

EXAMPLE
       Given the following VDL-format file:
	      0
	      2
	      #
	      #
	      2560 2048 Left two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
	      2
	      :2.1 1280 2048   0    0 0 0
	      :2.2 1280 2048   1280 0 0 0
	      4
	      1280 1024 0      0
	      1280 1024 0      1024
	      1280 1024 1280   0
	      1280 1024 1280   1024
	      #
	      2560 2048 Right two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
	      2
	      :2.2 1280 2048   0   0 0 0
	      :2.3 1280 2048   1280 0 0 0
	      4
	      1280 1024 1280	0
	      1280 1024 1280	1024
	      1280 1024 2560 0
	      1280 1024 2560 1024
       the following DMX-format file will be produced:
	      #
	      #
	      virtual "Left two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
		  display :2.1 1280x2048;
		  display :2.2 1280x2048 @1280x0;
	      }
	      #
	      virtual "Right two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
		  display :2.2 1280x2048;
		  display :2.3 1280x2048 @1280x0;
	      }

BUGS
       If the VDL file is not in the expected format, the program will probably dump core.
