# This script is for people who have drawings on a Sony PRS-600 and want
# to convert those drawings to SVG for opening in Inkscape, GIMP, etc.
# It may also work with "Notepad" drawings on the PRS-650 etc.
#
# Are there more elegant ways to do this? Yes.
# Do I really care? Well, this works, so I don't care too much.
# I know the first several lines of every drawing note file are
# junk that needs to go, as well as several of the last lines.
# So, I strip those off.
#
# I know xs1: needs to be gone from the file so
# I delete all instances of it.
#
# So far, I end up with a working svg every time.
#
# The use is pretty simple, from a terminal you call the script
# with an input filename of the note drawing you want to convert
# and an optional output name. The script will default to a 
# output of the input filename with ".svg" tacked on the end
# if you don't specify a different name.
#
# ./note2svg.sh [the prs-600 drawing note file] [optione output filename]
