Par2: Importing C5 TXD into C4 1998-12-23 -- Eric Jacobowitz I found a way to open a .C5 dct in
C4 and Cw2
Here is the secret . . .
Open the .dct file in C5. Export the .dct to a .txd file. Then you need to
edit the .txd file slightly, and then you can import the .txd into an
earlier version of Clarion.
Sample of .txd from C5
[DICTIONARY]
VERSION '1.0'
CREATED '13 MAY 1998' '11:18:11AM'
MODIFIED '21 DEC 1998' ' 4:45:12PM'
[FILES]
NAME FILE,DRIVER('Clarion'),RECLAIM,PRE(NAM),CREATE,THREAD
!!> IDENT(1),USAGE(File)
num_key KEY(NAM:NUM),NOCASE,OPT,PRIMARY
!!> IDENT(1),AUTO
hotel_key KEY(NAM:hotel,NAM:LAST),DUP,NOCASE,OPT
!!> IDENT(125)
car_key KEY(NAM:car,NAM:LAST),DUP,NOCASE,OPT
!!> IDENT(126)
All you need to do is for EACH file listed in the .txd, delete the
",USAGE(File)" which is listed under the filename.
NAME FILE,DRIVER('Clarion'),RECLAIM,PRE(NAM),CREATE,THREAD
!!> IDENT(1),USAGE(File)
Once you go through the .txd and delete ",USAGE(File)" you can then IMPORT
the .txd into an earlier version of CW.
