Not at all. You create the updated version of your app that uses

That was the whole point of my complaint - without even a read-only
version of the old database supported, you can't include a conversion
routine in your Intel app.
Until...
Could I ship a command-line conversion utility that runs under
Rosetta, that could be invoked transparently from the Intel UB as
a shell task?
Absolutely. Build a console app that JUST converts the old format
into the new format.
thanks for the feedback in this conversation which has brought me a
realisation as to how to include something for the Intel build to
call which can't be in an Intel build.
It seems obvious in hindsight but I hadn't thought about shipping a
separate console utility as a way to "include" a conversion routine.
