Example: Backward conversion

In this example, conn_1.msg and conn_1.idx are SMAT files of the new format.

You then use this command:

hcismatconvert -b conn_1 -o conn_1_old

This takes the contents of conn_1.msg and conn_1.idx, converts them to the old format, and writes them to files named conn_1_old.msg and conn_1_old.idx.

To overwrite, use:

hcismatconvert -b conn_1

Using this command would do the same conversion, but overwrite conn_1.msg and conn_1.idx.
