Convert the raw file remotely. <a name=Description></a><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Description<o:p></o:p>
<a name="Current_Version"></a><a name=Requirements></a>Because several conversion programs depend on Windows-only vendor libraries from different manufacture, this software will enable you converting your raw files in you local machine without logging in to remote window machine.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Requirements<o:p></o:p>
The following is a list of software need to be installed in window machine before you can convert each type of the raw file.<o:p></o:p>

How to use it:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Suppose the remote window machine is named R machine. The local linux machine is named L machine.<o:p></o:p>
On R machine:<o:p></o:p>
mkdir C:\convert<o:p></o:p>
Download converter executable and save into C:\convert<o:p></o:p>
Download RemoteConvertServer.pl and lib dir, and save into C:\convert<o:p></o:p>
Download 7-zip, unzip and save it into C:\convert\7-zip<o:p></o:p>
cd C:\convert<o:p></o:p>
perl RemoteConvertServer.pl <o:p></o:p>
On L machine:<o:p></o:p>
Download remoteconvert.pl and save into some dir. <o:p></o:p>
./ remoteconvert.pl : show some examples command to run the software.<o:p></o:p>
./ remoteconvert.pl –showoptions: show all options available for each converter<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Install RemoteConvert as service:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The service will stop if the user session is time out or the window machine is restarted. I complied the perl code into a executable using triall version of perl2exe, and installed it as service on a window 2000 and a window server 2003 sucessfully, thus the service will keep running without user log in and restart by itself after the computer restarts. <o:p></o:p>
Instructions on install user defined service:<o:p></o:p>
Use perl2exe or other software to convert the perl program (server side) to exectuable. <o:p></o:p>
Suppose your perl executable is located in C:\convert<o:p></o:p>
<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>Download and install resource kit tool from Microsoft website according to which version of window machine you have.<o:p></o:p>
Window server 2003:<o:p></o:p>
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en</a><o:p></o:p>
Window 2000:<o:p></o:p>
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3e89879d-6c0b-4f92-96c4-1016c187d429">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3e89879d-6c0b-4f92-96c4-1016c187d429</a><o:p></o:p>
Alternatively if you can get INSTSRV.EXE and SRVANY.EXE somewhere, you don’t need to install the whole resource kit.<o:p></o:p>
Suppose these two executable is located in “C:\reskit”<o:p></o:p>
<![if !supportLists]>2.
<![endif]>At a MS-DOS command prompt(running CMD.EXE), type the
following command:
C:\reskit\INSTSRV.EXE RemoteConvert C:\reskit\SRVANY.EXE<o:p></o:p>
<![if !supportLists]>3.
<![endif]>Run Registry Editor (start|run|regedit)
