* = These file types can only be original file types (/F#), not target file types.
NOTE: You do not need to specify the /F or the /C switch if your original (/S)and target files (/T) use standard file extensions. That is, if your JPG files are named myfiles.jpg and not myJeg.BMP then you do not have to specify the /F and /C. However, if your JPG files are named MyJPeg.BMP then you MUST specify the /F and /C switches.
