MIF Format Conversion: mifconvert

The mifconvert utility converts a MIF 1.1 micromagnetic problem specification file into the MIF 2.1 format. Eventually, it should be possible to express any problem in the MIF 1.1 format using the MIF 2.1 format, but currently that is not the case. It is recommended that the user carefully inspect the MIF 2.1 files generated by this application for correctness.

As a migration aid, mifconvert will also convert most files from the obsolete MIF 2.0 format used with OOMMF 1.2a2 into the newer MIF 2.1 format.
