- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The DDUPD utility in Visual SourceSafe 6.0 requires the user to provide the path
to the data folder, not the path to the Srcsafe.ini file.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The DDCONV utility can take as an argument either the path to the data folder
or, by using the -m switch, the path to the Srcsafe.ini file:

  " DDCONV ..\data

  DDCONV C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\Data

  DDCONV -m ..\SrcSafe.ini

  DDCONV -m C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\SrcSafe.ini "
  (without the quotation marks)

The DDUPD utility can only take the path to the data folder:

  " DDUPD ..\data

  DDUPD C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\Data " (without the
  quotation marks)
