+Brief usage for Migration Tool Fpd2Dsc.exe:\r
+1. Command line format:\r
+  Fpd2Dsc [options] input_filename\r
+2. Input File:\r
+  A syntactically valid FPD file\r
+3. Output Files:\r
+  A DSC file which syntax confirms to DSC spec.\r
+4. Prerequisite:\r
+   a. The workspace directory must be specified either by environment variable or -w option.\r
+     \r
+5. Example:\r
+   WORKSAPCE has already been set: $(WORKSPACE) = c:\work\EdkII. \r
+ \r
+   a. Fpd2Dsc -o c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.dsc c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.fpd\r
+   b. Fpd2Dsc -a c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.fpd\r
+   Example a & b are equivalent to migrate Nt32 platform description file from EDKII to EDKII' snytax.\r
+  \r
+6. Known Limitations:\r
+   a. Tool does not handle Libraries Section since no related info in original FPD file. Developers need  to handle it manually in the output DSC file.\r
+   b. If MSA file which is corresponds to module guid could not be found in currect workspace, tool will dump the module guid.\r
