As of this writing (September 10, 1991) some programs which
are available in version 4.5 have not been converted for use
with version 5.0. However, all of the main parts of BK are
functioning, and the remaining programs should be available
in a few weeks. All version 4.5 programs have been converted
EXCEPT for the following:
BKBOX4 - four family descendant box charts
BKAA - ancestor wall charts, multipage ancestor, large
ahnentafel
COPYPART - split a database
BKMERGE - merge two databases
The CONVERT5 program will convert all version 4.5 data files
to version 5.0. Run CONVERT5 one time to convert your data.
If you have more than one set of version 4.5 data files, you
can run CONVERT5 twice and choose to ADD the second set to
the first. The CONVERT5 program creates new files for use
with version 5.0, and will not change your version 4.5 data
files, but just to be on the safe side, make BACKUP copies of
all your 4.5 data files before you convert the data.
Although I thought that the same number of names would take
up less disk space in version 5.0 than it did in 4.5, it will
probably take up about 10-15 percent more space for the same
data. Each name in 5.0 can store more information than in
version 4.5, therefore the record length is larger. The data
files are partially compressed, but the indexes (which are
part of the file) are not compressed. Each name record is
indexed four ways: 1. by code number 2. by exact name 3. by
partial first and last name 4. by Ref field.
