Dear Gmsh developpers

First congratulations for your software, which is like a dream in
opensource scientific softwares, regarding accessibility, reliability
and ergonomy.

I would need to automate mesh generation to openFoam. OpenFoam includes
a converter from ASCII .msh files, but not from binary .msh files. And
your software provides a command line converter only to  binary files.

Is there a work around to have a command line or a script which would :
load a .med mesh, convert it to ASCII .msh and exit ?

Thanks in advance

Jean-Michel
