Hi All, Every so often I see files named "cnvscr.detail" and "cnvscr.out" show up in my $LAWDIR/{prodline} directory.  The files appear to be empty. Can anyone tell me what these are?  Any concerns with deleting them? Thanks! Kelly

Kelly.... cnvscr is a command that apparently sometime used to convert .scr files.    I've never had any use for them, but I don't think it would hurt removing them.  However they may just reappear at some point.   They also appear in my $LAWDIR/pl as well...
    Usage:  To convert .scr files to a 2.0 Environment format
            A list of forms with detail or long text is put in
            /lawdir/prodline/cnvscr.detail
            Other program output is put in /lawdir/prodline/cnvscr.out
            Conversions:
            1.  If the form has no '|'s, convert '^' to '~'.
            2.  Insert '|' where ever I can.
     Syntax: cnvscr [-g] [-] ProductLine [SystemCode] [PgmCode(s)]
                        g  - Remove .oldscr (used by bldopd)
                        - Convert PROG.scr.n
