.B CONVERTNAME

.I outputfile

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Uses specifications in `specfile' to convert `inputfile' to StarPlot data
format and writes the results to `outputfile' if specified, or standard output
if not.  The first two arguments are required.  Exactly ONE may be replaced
with a dash `\-' for reading from standard input.
.PP
For detailed information on how to write a specification file, see the example
file listed below.  Be aware that I expect to change the format of starconvert
spec files in version 1.0.
