In Response to Steve Crutchfield's posting:

Thanks, Steve for your warm welcome!

In response to your question about converting an Ibid for XyWrite database, I
checked with one of our programmers and it looks like we can come up with
something better than the proverbial monkey typists! We have a "do it
yourself" solution that might work and if it doesn't, just zip up your *dat
files and send them to technicalsupport@xxxxxxxx and we will see if we
can convert them for you (we think that this will be fairly easy, but can't
be sure without seeing your files). Our conversion program was designed for
use with NB DOS version of Ibid/Ibid Plus, not the XyWrite version. We think
that it will work with XyWrite/Ibid Plus if you make the following
superficial changes (you might want to make a copy of your files before
starting).

1. Rename the directory that contains your XyWrite DOS database files to NB4
2. Create a file (any file) in that directory and name it "NBEDIT.EXE"
3. Rename all files that begin with XY and end with the extension .DAT
(XY*.DAT) by substituting NB for XY (NB*.DAT)
4. From within Ibidem, click Tools, Convert to run the conversion utility.

Thanks for your interest, and please let me know how this works.
