</style>Well it seems that i might have it all wrong, on the unix
filepro utillity menu option 4 say's CONVERT FILES FROM MS-DOS
FILEPRO I have used this before and it worked, i just pop in a
diskette and it converts the database from dos format to the unix
format nicely, but when i tried to access the database in unix useing
file creation as an example i get this filepro error "File has been
illegally modified"<br>
or are you guy's saying that, that option does not work anymore?</blockquote>
Well that's interesting. I too have that as an option. <br>
<tt>4 Convert files from MSDOS filePro<br>
@/fp/scripts/doconvert <br>
<br>
</tt>However, I don't have that program in *my* scripts directory <span
class="moz-smiley-s2"><span> :-( </span></span><br>
Otherwise I'd help you debug it.<br>
<br>
Anyone else not have it?<br>
<br>
<tt># cd /appl/fp/scripts<br>

</tt>And it's nowhere on the box...<tt><br>
# locate doconvert<br>
#<br>
<br>
</tt>So I guess it's <br>
1) either a script that was a add-on purchase with 5.0<br>
2) or Someone forgot to add it to the scripts directory<br>
3) or Someone forgot to remove it from the default util menu<br>
4) I've got a 4.X util menu (most likely possible)<br>
<br>
My guess for your problem is that the map file is not being converted
is why <br>
your problem is happening. I can't be of much more help without the
script.<br>
