Your SR9.7 registry files should located in the /registry directory in
the "local_site" and/or "rgy_site" subdirectories. The cvtrgy tool
creates a directory, the subdirectories, and the actual files -- which
are of type NIL (ie. they are not readable by the stream I/O system
under SR9, they can only be read by the mapped-segment calls under
SR9.7. SR10 systems are able to read NIL file types as a raw stream of
bytes).

Here is the commands we use to convert our SR10 registry to SR9.7.
They are executed on the SR9.7 master registry machine (//love -- a
deceased geophysicist)

if not eqs ((^user)) "root" then
  args 'you must be logged in as "root" in order to run cvtrgy'
  exit
endif
von
if existf //bowie/registry/rgy_site then
    dlt -f //bowie/registry/rgy_site
endif
//moho/install/tools_sr9/cvtrgy -from10to9 -to //bowie/registry/rgy_site -from //moho
/com/salrgy
voff

(Please execuse me, I forgot that //love was recently updated to SR10. //bowie --
another deceased geophysicist -- is our last remaining SR9.7 disked node.
If my brain-dead ways continue, they may wind up naming a node after me ...)
