+.SH "NAME"
+msql2mysql \- convert mSQL programs for use with MySQL
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBmsql2mysql\fR\fB\fIC\-source\-file\fR\fR\fB\ \&.\&.\&.\fR\ 'u
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR\fB\fIC\-source\-file\fR\fR\fB \&.\&.\&.\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+Initially, the MySQL C API was developed to be very similar to that for the mSQL database system\&. Because of this, mSQL programs often can be converted relatively easily for use with MySQL by changing the names of the C API functions\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR
+utility performs the conversion of mSQL C API function calls to their MySQL equivalents\&.
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR
+converts the input file in place, so make a copy of the original before converting it\&. For example, use
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR
+like this:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+shell> \fBcp client\-prog\&.c client\-prog\&.c\&.orig\fR
+shell> \fBmsql2mysql client\-prog\&.c\fR
+client\-prog\&.c converted
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+Then examine
+client\-prog\&.c
+and make any post\-conversion revisions that may be necessary\&.
+.PP
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR
+uses the
+\fBreplace\fR
+utility to make the function name substitutions\&. See
+\fBreplace\fR(1)\&.
