Hi Digs:
Congrats! Well done. I'll second Henrys' suggestion of a short
disertation on how you handled the conversion.
FOR ALL YOU DEVELOPERS OUT THERE (current and future): How about some
programs to help in this vein. Conversions of existing data from those
FRIENDLY M$ formats to ones usable in Linux. This lack is one of the major
problems with converting businesses over to Linux.
