!****************************************************************************!

       The program SCR49.RUN distributed with Metropolis 7.0c has a bug.
       The hash code of the original program is 175-764-222-040.
       This program is used to convert screen (.s) files from Metropolis
       format to AlphaBASE 4.9g format.  This involves a translation of
       the box and line drawing commands.  These commands are stored
       differently in Metropolis than in AlphaBASE.

       The version of SCR49.RUN distributed with Metropolis 7.0c has
       a bug that causes a corrupted output file (.S2) under certain
       conditions.  This version fixes that bug.

       The bug manifests itself when the Metropolis screen has graphics
       elements defines as in 'PRE DRAW' mode.  This means that those
       graphics elements are drawn before the main text portion of the
       screen is drawn.  This allows text to be 'overlaid' on top of
       lines and boxes.

       When the original SCR49.RUN is used to convert a screen file
       that has 'PRE'DRAW' graphics, the resultant output file (.S2)
       is corrupt and cannot be compiled by the AlphaBASE 4.9g screen
       compiler.  The work around was to edit these screens and change
       any graphics elements from 'PRE DRAW' to 'POST DRAW' before
       running the conversion program.  With this fixed version, this
       is no longer necessary.
