I converted 2 applications (one schema - two accell apps) from 4.0 ro
unify 2000 in my former life (last job).  I didn't even try the conversion
scripts due to the problems my co-workers had with them (care to comment
Brandon?).  So I did my conversion by hand.  I found that it also helped
me to more fully understand the building process involved with U2k.
