The old toolboxes can be "UPGRADEd" so they work just fine with Turbo 4.0.  The
new Toolboxes offer a few new procedures like "FLUSHFILE, FLUSHINDEX and 2
others I can't remember off hand and also a new, higher level set of procedures
for opening, flushing, accessing and updating datasets.  SORT is also new.
The only difference between the old and new datasets worth noteing is in the
(required) Status field (field one of each record) in that it is now a LongInt
to allow you to have over 2 billion records in any dataset.
If you have any questions I'll be happy to share my findings with you.
