Subject: (possible) Unify conversion bug
Keywords: Unify
Message-ID: <835@devon.UUCP>

Organization: Devon Computer Services, Lancaster, PA
Lines: 34

System: Tandy 16/6000
	Tandy Xenix/68k 3.2 (runtime); 3.0 development system
	Unify 3.2

Problem?:

	I have (actually, my customer has) a glorified "mailing list"
database that began life in an older version of Unify (Tandy's ver 1.0;
I think Unify called it 3.0).  It was recently upgraded to the 3.2
release.  During the conversion, using the conv.3-3.2 script(s),
records which had been deleted under the old version reappeared in the
new version. 

Question(s):

	Did the conversion process see the (logically?) deleted records
and think they were valid, and therefore included them in the conversion?
Or did I perhaps overlook something during my conversion process?  Has
anyone else seen this happen?  My customer is concerned that any records
he deletes now may `magically' show up again in the future, and I wish
to lay his fears to rest.

Please reply via e-mail, unless you feel the net.at.large would benefit
from your posting.

Thanx.
