codfileman.exe is a utility program which can be used to convert a
platform-dependent Codessa project file to a corresponding platform-
independent text file, or vice-versa.  This is useful for transferring
Codessa projects from one platform to another (e.g., Windows to Linux
or Linux to Windows).

The usage of codefileman.exe is as follows:

     Usage 1* :  codfileman.exe
     Usage 2* :  codfileman.exe -b2t
     Usage 3* :  codfileman.exe -t2b
     Usage 4  :  codfileman.exe -b2t BinaryCODFilePath TextCODFilePath
     Usage 5  :  codfileman.exe -t2b TextCODFilePath BinaryCODFilePath

Usages 1-3 are for Windows only, where a file browser is used to specify files.

To transfer a Codessa project file called myproj.cod from Windows
to Linux, run the following on the Windows machine:

     codfileman.exe -b2t myproj.cod myproj.cod.txt

and then transfer the file myproj.cod.txt to the Linux machine and run
the following on the Linux machine:

     codfileman.exe -t2b myproj.cod.txt myproj.cod

The file myproj.cod on the Linux machines will then be useable by the
Linux version of Codessa on that machine.

Note that a full Codessa project consists not only of a Codessa project
file but also all of the text data files (e.g., Ampac output files) from which
the project's structures and their descriptors were loaded.  When
transferring a Codessa project (even to the same machine or to another
machine with the same platform), these data files might (e.g., recalculation
of descriptors, structure plots, etc.) need to be transferred as well, and they
should have the same relative path to the Codessa project file.
