To clarify. There are some data changes (that we want)
between Babase 1.0 and 2.0. Things from
(added by Babase 2.0) automatic Mdates
and (added by the conversion program) estimated Ddates to code
changes in the MSTATUSES table
from "K" and "E" to "O" and "B". Lacey needs to work with
Susan and Jeanne regarding documentation of specific rows
that "change" during the switch from Babase 1.0 to 2.0.
Tabby says some are probably mentioned in general terms
in the existing changelog. Likewise there are general
notes in an appendex of the 2.0 system docs. Do specific rows
needs docs? IMO better to document them than to have
them suddenly 'appear'. If so how and in how much detail?
In one sentence: What needs documenting for each
data change between Babase 1.0 and 2.0 that appears
in the comparetables.out file?
