When The gurus printed the book for Legacy 7, they expected to create that part 
of the program. It overwhelmed them ( It does me also). Officially, it is still 
impending, but when it is 'fixed' we will hear.

There isn't (yet) the SourceWriter Conversion Tool which is mentioned in
the Help files, but the task can be accomplished with *some degree* of
automation, although it is largely necessary to change them one at a
time.

I believe Dennis's Ltool is useful for this task, but I haven't used it
myself so will let him take up that baton.

Personally, I am changing mine with the assistance of Access.  It's
necessary to make a small to the database before being able to merge a
Basic MasterSource with the required SourceWriter one.  Most of the
Source Details then have to be re-entered individually.
