Thomas Steudten asks:

:we're looking for a tool, which converts flight files to .pfb files.

The tools is "pfconv" check it's manpage or just run it (it's in the
standard /usr/sbin directory). Also, "perfly -w something.pfb *.flt"
will do it, but perfly does things that you may not want to do to
your data (flatten, etc.) so the pfconv program is a better route.

:Can anyone tell us, where we can find it - and maybe where we can get
:some descriptions about the file-format .pfb.

The format is an IRIS Performer "binary dump" that loads very fast but
which is not something you'd probably want to use for any other purpose.

:The .pfb loader-library doesn't include a 'Store-function' that's right?

It *does* include a store function. That's what pfconv uses.

Regards,
Michael
