RE: Reconciling shadow files to the Release 2000 manual

[Cheryl Gowing <cgowing@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ruth:

The documentation on the Release 2000 manual indicates that we will NOT be
able to reconcile shadow files created with the old manual's software.
Release 2000 use the 4.2 version of the Folios software which apparently
won't reconcile with the 3.x version.

My understanding is that you can still view your old shadow files if you
keep a copy of the old manual running somewhere.   I suppose you could
recreate your shadow files using cut/paste into a Release 2000 shadow file.

	I successfully reconciled our shadow files when we moved to Release
12,
	but I have been having difficulty reconciling the shadow files with
the
	Release 2000 manual. Has anyone successfully transferred their
shadow
	file from the Release 12 IIIManual to the Release 2000 manual?  
	According to the Release 2000 manual:
	 "Opening Shadow Files - Folio Views 4.x will check the LNAME.INI
file,
	located in the \Windows directory, for the location of the
appropriate
	Folio Views 3.1 master infobase when you attempt to open a 3.x
shadow
	file in 4.x. If the LNAME.INI file cannot be found, or if the master
	infobase is not listed in the LNAME.INI, then the shadow file cannot
be
	opened in Folio Views 4.x. (You may add the entries to the LNAME.INI
	file by opening the shadow file once in Folio Views 3.x or by
manually
	editing the INI file.)"

	I found the LNAME.INI file in the windows directory.  I tried
reopening
	my shadow file in Folio Views 3.x and I tried manually editing the
	LNAME.INI file.  However, I continually get the error message "File
not
	found." << File: Card for Ruth  Helwig >>
