Import from Avab Expert
Expert plays can be read directly from a floppy drive or as ASCII plays from a USB, See local manual
for export instructions to this format.
The way Expert plays are read has changed completely to be able to read more data. Using an external
utility, the Expert binary file format is translated into ASCII Light Cues and opened just like any other
file.
• Loading an Expert play is done from Browser >File >Open. When a diskette with an
Expert.pla file is detected, you get the option of converting it when you double click on it.
• An "Export to Expert" diskette command in the Browser allows you to export a Cobalt play
to Expert format.
NOTE
There are still some parts of the play that aren’t imported. More will come.
There are five parts in an expert play (pla, eff, ren, gl & set). All five are
needed.
