I dunno either, but there were a *lot* of bugs in all the 4.10 ports I
dealt with. Forgetting DBPATH in r4gl, forgetting DBPATH in a dbimport,
you name it. As I'm still using it, I keep a 4.0 version around just to
use some of these utilities.
Yeah, I should update; I've got 4.12 on my X86 box and even that's old.
