After poking around some on mountain lion it looks like convert is gone. If these are upgraded machines you might be able to locate it somewhere in /Previous System/...
Not positive this is the issue but its worth a check, and I am sure that convert is not in the location you specified on my system. (also did a find / -name convert to search the whole system and didn't locate it) On Sun, Aug 26, 2012 at 3:08 PM, Bruce Pokras <bruc...@comcast.net> wrote: > Hello all! > > I develop an application called Patent Grabber that downloads patents from > various US and international patent authorities.
