I've been uncertain where to bring this up, but since Erika mentions the 5.0 "generation" problem this seems like as good a place & time as any.
While talking with John Dow, who created the excellent DTFDOCTR and DTFSPECS utilities which I am using to clean up my Q&A programs pre-translation to Sesame, I mentioned that my two largest databases had dozens (hundreds?) of saved specs and reports, all of which had to be "touched" to get to a single generation. I told him I expected to spend several days working on this.
John provided me with a marvelous Q&A macro that did this work for me in minutes. Once it ran I was at a single generation (generation 4, in the case of my Workorder database), which allowed me to then copy the design without corruption. After copying my records into this fresh copy, I was at Generation 1. Took less than an hour.
I mentioned to John that other folks here might be interested in using this. He asked me to post about it and gauge the reaction, and based on that he might package it with DTFDOCTR.

I apologize if this sounds like a Spam posting. I'm not sure if posts about services and goods are allowed on this forum, and I won't bring it up again if I've violated any guidelines.
