i more or less followed wiki for
sdjson http://email.mg.glenb.net/c/eJxFjrFqwzAURb9G3mqk96TYHjSEQqZ2agndxNOTZLtxnGApMcnX16VD4cKBMxxusJwoGF2NlnfMRrVG-pRMo5ixI9g13DErzxqgC62EGGumc5yElv0UZ1_PsVSDRUqKjEkBjUbZovKgCSio2GCHhNVkh1KuWeBewGHbuq71-VGGcq8vS_8rxtO44ev97fMoAD9iuV3dOpbBlbvrF_Lu-XQ5fOfLLF5B7CVVi_0rvNxyXPL26D_4A_QRRZ0
nd first got list of all the channels, then i did quick search and
replace all '=' with '!' using sed. then went back in and corrected
first lines not dealing with channels and replace with '=' the ones i
use. still takes a while but better than having to take out 800 one by
one. in my case i only use like 50 or 60.

i also used this handy util channel
editor http://email.mg.glenb.net/c/eJxFjcsKwjAURL8m2VnyuGnMIotS9Dckvbltgn1IGy3-vRUXwsDAYQ4TPfYhGuDZY41o5NmIru-NlYjaBVVbdIiyQ1DKxbNQRBWGiUYGYhhp7qqZCk--j2CDMxAgkgWI2ioj0IBUUltHxEefSnlsTDdMXY_s-15N75LKq1rW4QvyPR_VpjDPNN4uMZdlZa1ijSgLX_1vfHputG7H-d_9AIObPbI have a reference
while edited the conf file for sdjson. probably a way to export from
the channel editor (which it supports) and make a script to adjust or
recreate the conf file for sdjson.
