There was a utility package that was used by UniData services - it used
various Unix tools to convert the Dictionaries (you needed a full compiler).

Worth an ask....... UCONV3 I think. It converted *accounts* save in old
format BTW - not just Dictionaries.

To be honest - when I've done Dictionary conversions (many) for ODBC even
just in UniData - I find so many just-plain-wrong dictionaries that don't
reflect the data as it is I have to do the lot manually in any case.

Check S really is S, MV really is MV, SV really is SV, All MV and SV have
PHRASES (etc, etc).

Subject: [U2] Utilities for Pick-type to UniData-type (ODBC) Dictionary
'Conversions'

Does anyone know of, have, use, or be willing to share a utility that
'converts' old-style PICK-type Virtual and I-descriptors in UniData to legal
ODBC/UniData descriptors? For example, changing Tfilename;X;n;m functions to
TRANS and like conversions. I am in the process of opening up hundreds of
files to ODBC; before reinventing the wheel, just checking to see if the
wheel has already been made. I did not see such a utility on pickwiki.

If such a utility is for sale, that would be good to know as well.
Feel free to contact me off-list if you are more comfortable doing so..

Bob Wyatt
