[Babase] ready for conversion v16

Greetings:

I've made changes to three tables:  biograph, ranks, and cycles.  All 
the current Babase tables are in the folder DATA on papio.  Karl, we 
would like a conversion run on this today/tonight so that we know where 
we stand with errors before I begin the 06B update. 

On papio, DATA_New  is now DATA_old and will be deleted shortly to keep 
things tidy....  I'm leaving it on Papio for the moment just in case I 
blew up the system and we need to revert back to it.  ( DATA_old was the 
last database on which we ran conversion v15 and generated only ~10 errors).

(For those who are interested, we made the decision this morning to do 
the Princeton part of the 06B update in Babase 1.0 using FoxPro, in the 
interest of getting the data into Babase before I go on leave.  I'll 
begin work on the update tomorrow...assuming the error report is OK)

Lacey:  two notes for you (and anyone else who cares)
1)  I know you sent me a few data inconsistencies regarding ROB & ORE 
and there is still the matter of some bstatus = 0 that we are cleaning 
up.  We will certainly get to these, but since they are not generating 
errors at the moment, I don't want them to hold up the next conversion 
(and the 06B update).

2)  I am still updating the babase changelog and I will notify you when 
the most current version is on papio.  I have a bunch of text to add 
from the cycles changes I made to real_cycgaps back in March when Leah 
had the official db and the changelog.  (My updates occurred to a table 
outside Babase 1.0, but I want to get them into the changelog anyway).
