- The CONVERT.C that comes with the FROM/64 Modification is not the one you
- should always use. WWIV 4.21a comes stocked with the 64 Sub Modification
- BUILT IN, but you cannot use the aforementioned CONVERT.C with it, due
- to the fact that you will also get the structure for the FROM modification,
- which you do not want. In WWIV's INIT program, there is an option (option
- N) to convert the 4.21 standard userrec to the 4.21a extended userrec.
-
- If you have modified the userrec at all, you must write your own CONVERT.C
- to upgrade to virgin 4.21a.
