[vsnet-chat 5485] Re: [AAVSO-DIS] Converter WebObs->vsnet?

["Mike Simonsen" <mikesimonsen@mindspring.com>]

The AAVSO software PCObs does a good job of this. It is not automatic, but
it is simple enough even I can do it :-)
The observation entry format is essentially the same as WebObs. Once you are
done with your AAVSO report, you save it. There is a button at the top of
the menu bar "Format Conversions". Click here, it gives you a translate to
vsnet format window. Click file, find the file you saved, click it and boom-
automatically it is in vsnet format. Save this file, copy and email.

Regards,
Mike Simonsen
