Lacey: I just cut and pasted your exchange with Karl into the changelog
so we have a record of everything there.
Karl: I assume that I don't need to do or know anything regarding
PSION_NEW file when I next upload to papio? It doesn't directly change
any of the tables in Babase 1.0 does it....you just need it for the
conversion...?
