<p>Filepro 5.8 Users,</p>
<p>Well I am investigating some features in 5.8 and could not find a
good explanation for the new options listed.</p>
<p>1. Change encryption Key - Does this mean that this key is
applied to the entire key file, all records? Then if I change the
encryption key will it decrypt the file and encrypt it with the
new key? Does this restrict the location of the file?<br>
</p>
<p>2. Edit Allowed-license list. I am assuming this refers to the
filepro license somehow. Does that mean if the file is moved to
another computer with a different license it will not allow
access, somehow? Can multiple license be listed?<br>
</p>
<p>Also, I am a bit confused by Encode/Decode. Is this the Encode
used for XML binary or HTML? I can see the reference to "base64"
which sounds right. Am I guessing right about this command?</p>
<p>I loved the TOHTML() command which inserted characters to
appropriate codes for HTML. Wondered why they never thought to
add FROMHTML() to go in the other direction. I often get data
that needs to be translated in the other direction.<br>
</p>
<p>I find the documentation to be very light. Better in the help
files but not even an example in many cases.</p>
<p>Also, they do not seem to include the default value for
Environment variables in all cases. This makes it difficult to
know where you stand.</p>
<p>Documentation helps me understand if a feature will be helpful
and how to test it out if I want to use it.</p>
<p>Thanks for any enlightenment you can provide as I play with these
features.<br>
</p>
<p>Nancy<br>
