Abstract: An apparatus and method for enabling a flat panel display terminal to simulate operations of a multifrequency cathode-ray tube monitor. The synchronization signals included in the input analog video signals are analyzed to identify a display protocol. The predetermined parameters for the identified display protocol are used to program the analog liquid crystal display panel and phase-locked loop of the flat panel display terminal.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for automatically generating Internet formatted data files from nonInternet formatted data files. The present invention includes processing one or more directories selected by a user to locate and tag any files of a type to be converted. A file list is created and output as a spreadsheet type text file containing the file information for each file to be processed. Each located file is then converted into an Internet ready file format, and transferred to a chosen destination. The present invention allows for automatic generation of an Internet yellow page directory using nonInternet formatted customer advertising data files with significantly reduced production costs and likelihood of processing error.
