The INTERACT/PARTS data is ungood on papio in the babase_test database,
but the "babase" database is an exact copy of what's in Foxpro
so there's no reason not to use that.

Right. We designed the Babase db on papio to be, uh, more better than
the one in foxpro. The trouble is that they are different from each
other. Our last check is to compare the papio and the foxpro database
versions and the compare shows this difference. Tabby's checking to
be sure that the difference we see is the difference we want to see.
There's an appendex in the Babase documentation that should
explain all the differences between the old and new systems.
