QAR is the original CE/Full->Demo converter app. Pearl is the new and improved version. It's better and makes QAR obsolete. Both require you to have full version maps.

We've gotten a few windblows users who have stayed here for more than a day without us knowing.

Why must you comment on obscure parts of the post like this? This is why topics veer off course.
So yes, halodude - as Altimit said, Pearl's function is the same as QAR's; to convert CE/Full maps to Demo. The only difference is that Pearl is much better at it.
Bottom line: Screw QAR, use Pearl.

That was one of the main design goals when I was making Pearl. I did extensive testing and innovating with Map Rebuilding, and it really paid off.

Not sure if that is a serious question or not, but all of Pearl is mine; it does not use code from any other applications like Eschaton and such.
66 pages of my own code and loads of hours went into creating Pearl from scratch.
