// These macros convert all the files in a folder to a different format. 
// Two dialog boxes are displayed. Select the source folder in the

// once opened this file will be projected in the z axis.
//
// the macro also assumes that you have the biorad plugin install
// (Biorad_Reader.class) as well as the file handler for other
// file types (HandleExtraFileTypes.class)
