Knowledgeman 2.1?  The version I know is 2.01.

But never mind the KTOK utility was included in KMAN version 2.01.

Have you tried following sequence:

in KMAN 2.(0)1 :

alternative 1:

e.odsk=true
select * from <what-ever-table>
e.odsk=false

alternative 2:

There is an environment variable that tells KMAN 2.01 that it should
save tables 'unscrambled'.


(These of course requires an PC that are able to run KMAN 2.01, but only
this time)


then later with KMAN 2.0:

define <what-ever-table>

attach to <what-ever-table> from dskout.txt  (please check the syntax - 
this is from a bio-memory )
