Now I find that after reconverting datafiles to Dbase II files from within Dbase IV (.db2) that the Dbase III program is unable to do a proper conversion for its use. It reads it alright at first (......) but then it finally says "error in file..." (or words to that effect) then it aborts the whole process (within dconvert). Can this problem be fixed, or is this a bug that now all users should be wary of?
