Karl,
Thanks for the quick feedback. I was thinking it would just bring up
the inconsistency errors, like mismatches with an individual in BIOGRAPH
but not CENSUS - that sort of thing. I'll hold off on doing any updates
until I have as many pieces together as possible (to limit the
"in-between phase"). Then I'll just send out an email to give you a
heads-up of what I'm working on, timeline, etc.
Thanks,
Catherine
