In order to compile, the program needs an OVRDBF to identify the external file. Other than changing the file back to the real file name, how can I use the Editor to verify the program? EXTFILE doesn't seem to work for an externally defined file."

Modern technology has failed to find the fabled beast. A BBC search team, hoping to put some meat on the bones of 1,500 years' worth of "sightings," recently used 600 separate sonar beams and satellite navigation technology to look in the deep, murky loch. They got loads of loch data but no Nessie. In fact, they couldn't find any big animal in the water. Call it a monster disappointment.
