+<context> <p>Conversions can be done in a single step or in multiple
+steps.</p><p/><p><b>Single step</b></p><p>To convert an entire file or
+stream in a single step, use <codeph>CConverterBase2::ConvertL()</codeph> and <codeph>CConverterBase2::ConvertObjectL()</codeph> respectively.</p><p>The following code snippet converts the contents of <filepath>c:\private\12345678\file1</filepath> and
+places the output in <filepath>c:\private\12345678\file2</filepath>.</p><codeblock xml:space="preserve">_LIT(KFromFile, "c:\\private\\12345678\\file1");
+_LIT(KToFile, "c:\\private\\12345678\\file2");
+converter->ConvertL(KFromFile, KToFile, NULL);
+</codeblock><p/><p><b>Multiple steps</b></p><p>As the conversion process
+can take a long time, you can divide the process into multiple steps. To do
+this:</p><ol>
+<li id="GUID-6D2816BF-06ED-44B1-B309-F4BCAAE6377A"><p>Call <codeph>CConverterBase2::ConvertAL()</codeph> (files)
+or <codeph>CConverterBase2::ConvertObjectAL()</codeph> (streams) to prepare
+the converter to convert.</p></li>
+<li id="GUID-8D18EDEE-2200-4BF4-8D87-B80E95863A6D"><p>Call <codeph>CConverterBase2::DoConvertL()</codeph> until
+it returns true.</p></li>
+</ol><p>The following example converts the contents of <filepath>c:\private\12345678\file1</filepath> and
+places the output in <filepath>c:\private\12345678\file2</filepath> in multiple
+steps. It assumes that conversion takes place within an active object, <codeph>CMyActive</codeph>,
+which does a conversion step in the <codeph>RunL()</codeph> function and reactivates
+the object if conversion is not complete.</p><codeblock xml:space="preserve">void CMyActive::StartConverting()
+ {
+ _LIT( KFromFile, "c:\\private\\12345678\\file1" );
+ _LIT( KToFile, "c:\\private\\12345678\\file2" );
+ converter->ConvertAL( KFromFile, KToFile, NULL );
+ User::RequestComplete( iStatus,KErrNone );

+ }
+void CMyActive::RunL()
+ {
+ if (DoConvertL())
+ {
+ User::RequestComplete( iStatus,KErrNone );

+and the converter list. The converter architecture unloads the converter DLLs
