You have a folder called 'dump' in your temp directory.
Empty it out, then from foxpro run the dumptext program
by typing "do dumptext".
Then, on papio, delete everything in /biology/groups/babase/dump/
and put the contents of the dump folder in there.
Then let me know.
The dumptext program runs a SQL query for each table
and saves the output. Then I can compare that against
a similar query run against postgresql and we've a
2nd way of ensuring that the data's either identical,
or (and this is harder to validate), is changed in
the way we want it changed.
