SYMPTOMS

   "Convert.app cannot be run as a standalone program.
   To convert files, open them from the File menu."

   DO (_CONVERTER) WITH "C:\fpw26\sample\catalog\sample.fpc"

You will receive the error message described above. To convert the a version 2.6 catalog to version 3.0, choose Open from the File menu.
