Here is the python file. Place it in the directory with a copy of your files you want to convert and make sure you set permissions to execute.
Enjoy
John
#! /usr/bin/env python
# Usage: ./todd.py filenametoconvert.ngc
# Output: converted_filenametoconvert.ngc
import sys
def main(argv):
openfile = open(argv[0], 'r')
file_in = openfile.readlines()
openfile.close()
file_out = []
for line in file_in:
# print line
if line.find('Z') != -1:
words = line.rstrip('\n')
words = words.split(' ')
newword = ''
for i in words:
if i[0] == 'Z':
newword = 'W'+ i[1:]
if len(newword) > 0:
words.append(newword)
newline = ' '.join(words)
file_out.append(newline)
else:
file_out.append(line)
newfile = open('converted_'+argv[0], 'w')
for item in file_out:
newfile.write("%s\n" % item)
newfile.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main(sys.argv[1:])
Enjoy

Save the python file to any directory. Copy a ngc file you wish to convert to the same directory.
Open up a terminal and change directory to the one that contains the two files.
Type in dot slash the python file name and the file name to convert.
For example

You probably have to remove the .txt from the filename

I can't down load it from the web site. It gives an internal server error when clicked on.

The forum seems to have misplaced a lot of old attachments, but
the complete text of the program is in a previous post so you
should be able to just copy and paste it into an editor (gedit for example)

I've not had any luck getting it to work, and I was hoping that there were some revisions in the last attachment that might clue me in to what I'm doing wrong.
