Transformr: A Prototype STEP Exchange File Migration Tool
Stephen Nowland Clark · 1992
This document is primarily a user's guide to Transformr. It describes the transformation specification language used to specify the correspondences between the two schemas and the command-line syntax for invoking Transformr. After discussing some limitations of the tool, a brief overview of the theory of operation of the transformation engine is given, to give the user some context for understanding the messages which the tool may produce. It must be understood that Transformr is only a prototype. There are features of the transformation specification language which are currently unimplemented, and while these missing features and other known limitations are usually reported to the user when encountered, this is not always the case. Similarly, Transformr is not yet robust, and may encounter unexpected circumstances.
