+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XtConvert
+function looks up the type converter registered to convert from_type
+to to_type, computes any additional arguments needed, and then calls
+.ZN XtDirectConvert .
+.ZN XtConvert
+has been replaced by
+.ZN XtConvertAndStore .
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XtDirectConvert
+function looks in the converter cache to see if this conversion procedure
+has been called with the specified arguments.
+If so, it returns a descriptor for information stored in the cache;
+otherwise, it calls the converter and enters the result in the cache.
+.LP
+Before calling the specified converter,
+.ZN XtDirectConvert
+sets the return value size to zero and the return value address to NULL.
+To determine if the conversion was successful,
+the client should check to_return.address for non-NULL.
+.ZN XtDirectConvert
+has been replaced by
+.ZN XtCallConverter .
