NAME

udo - convert files from UDO into different formats

SYNOPSIS

udo [-adDghHilmnpqrstvwWxy] source file
udo [-adDghHilmnpqrstvwWxy] -o destination file source file

DESCRIPTION

UDO converts files from the UDO format into Apple-QuickView, ASCII, HTML, Texinfo, Linuxdoc-SGML, Manualpage, Pure-C-Help, Rich Text Format, ST-Guide, LaTeX, Turbo Vision Help or Windows Help.
