[AMMRL] Varian to TopSpin command line conversion

I am writing workflow scripts for automating Varian->Bruker datasets using
vconv. (But I am open to any better suggestions.)

This works fine for me on the TopSpin command entry line:

vconv c:/temp/zip/1d/data/1 test 22 c:/temp/zip/1d/bruker nmrsu

(although it complains, appropriately, that exp/stan/nmr/par/standard1d is
missing, probably because I have not set up my data station correctly?) the
files are created, including pdata 1r and 1i.

But I would like to do it with no GUI. From Windows I tried:

> topspin -i -d -s vconv c:/temp/zip/1d/data/1 test1 22
c:/temp/zip/1d/bruker nmrsu

from a Windows command terminal, which reported:


*C:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0>call
"C:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0\prog\mod\cpr.exe" -i -c demo -s vconv
c:/temp/zip/1d/data/1 test1 22 c:/temp/zip/1d/bruker
nmrsuC:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0>rem
#----------------------------------------------------------------------C:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0>rem
# When cpr.exe fails (e.g. when there is no
license),C:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0>rem # it reports an error and exits
with status > 1.C:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0>rem
#----------------------------------------------------------------------C:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0>if
1 == 1 goto :eofC:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0>exit /b
0C:\temp\bruker\TopSpin4.5.0>exit /b 0*

but nothing appeared.

Suggestions?
