<QUOTE>
The arev64 10.0 Quick Start Guide appears to me to be about converting from an AREV DOS.



I have an OI 9.4-based AREV32 that I want to convert to the OI 10.1 that I have already migrated.



That is, I already have in OI 10.1 all that OI side migrated. The dictionaries were converted to no "dots" years ago.



Please suggest how I copy/migrate the AREV32 code to AREV64.

Hi Dave,



The Arev structures are unchanged in Arev64,



I think the steps are:



Copy in the rows from your 9.4  WINDOWS. MENUS, POPUPS, SOURCE.

Copy in VOC without overwriting, That will merge in the rows unique to you.

Attach any BP_xxx tables with source in them,

Make sure that the data tables have CTODICT.MFS on them.

Recompile your programs.

Rebuild your btree indexes



Extra Credit:  Use the opportunity to run rti_RemakeTable(tablename)  on your main tables.



- Bob

<QUOTE>Ok, on my own.



This system is over 28 years old and was started in Arev DOS version 2. There are no SOURCE or OBJECT tables, just a BP! I will be adding MD to the mix.
