NAME
      rstconv - The Free Pascal resource string converter tool.

SYNOPSIS
      rstconv [options] -o outfile

DESCRIPTION
      rstconv reads a resource string file ( .rst ) that was produced by 
      the Free Pascal compiler and outputs a file that can be used by an 
      internationalization tool (currently only GNU gettext is supported) 
      for internationalizing your application.

USAGE
      rstconv has one required option: -o outfile to specify the output file name. 
      If no input file is specified, then standard input is assumed.

OPTIONS

            format is supported:    
            po  emit a .po file for use with GNU gettext , which converts 
            it to a .mo file, that can be read with the gettext unit.

      -h (or --help)
            outputs a short help message.
