[Babase] 2 questions for Karl

Hi Karl,

Just two easy questions for you, when you get a chance:

1.  I have a dbf file of ADF ranks to add to the RANKS table.  The new 
info doesn't replace any data that is already in RANKS, but rather just 
simply adds rank orders for adult females for some earlier dates.  I'm 
thinking that simply using the appender program is the way to go - I 
can't think of any complications that would arise.  Nonetheless, wanted 
to check with you for a second opinion.

2.  I'm gearing up for the next demography update (second half of 2005). 
  Of course as soon as I get going with the demog update we'll have lots 
of data errors until the entire update process is complete.  I just 
wanted to coordinate a time with you for when to tackle this.  I 
definitely don't want to add any confusion to correcting true errors in 
the database by getting only halfway into the process.  Anyway, just 
give me heads-up when the coast is clear to begin.

Thanks!
Catherine
