The purpose of these >repairs was to make the search facility work again, which it does. > > An unpleasant side effect of repairs to the search facility is that I had > to re-generate all of the index files used by the search, which took a > long time.

The file format compatibility finally broke, and I had to > regenerate all of the BDB indexes, but I kept on finding version skew > under musty old rocks, as this or that auxiliary program needed to be > re-linked or upgraded to be compatible with BDB 4.6. > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
