We just talked to Karl; he filled us in on your conversation. He also
indicated that he will do conversions table by table. Biograph is the one
table currently giving reliable error messages. He is currently working on
Cycles, will then work on Pregs, going around the BABASE schmatic from that
side, working down and around.
