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.
