- Sorry Howard but some conversions ARE needed. Because of rounding
- problems, all tables with N or $ type fields should be exported to
- ASCII then restructured under Pdox 3.5 and re-imported. This is
- mentioned in the readme files I had and you do need to do it. I had
- a lot of rounding errors before converting the tables.
-
- And of course, one should reorganize every tables to fully benefit
- of the speed of version 3.5. A query in version 3.5
- with version 3.0x tables is slightly faster than in version 3.0. After
- a reorg, you have a 50% improvement.
