-{{{pvoconvert}}} operates on existing "tape" files, converting them into a set of PSRFITS (.fits) format files with one sky position per fits file. You can either provide one or more tape files as the argument, or a directory with the {{{-D}}} flag (in which case it will operate on all appropriate files in that directory). It recognises 70-cm survey data and PM survey data. If you have high-latitude (PH) survey data, you need to give the {{{-H}}} flag to get the settings right.

+The -t option provides the ability to see what files pvoconvert would produce, without actually producing them. It also tells you if a file already exists (which would cause a problem).
