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.
