IDOL-IV® 8.4.2 Read Me First!


1. Definition Dates have been converted to Date Type 8

All dictionary definition dates have been converted to date type 8 for Y2K readiness. Existing dictionary definitions can be converted by running the Dictionary Update Utility after the installation process has been completed.

So that definitions can be compatible with older versions, the Dictionary Backup/Restore has been modified to convert the definition dates as needed. If a definition backup is done on 8.4.2 and restored on a pre-8.4.2 release, the definition dates will have been converted to their old format, and visa-versa.

2. Source-IV™ Definition Dates have been converted to Date Type 8

Source-IV dates have also been converted to date type 8 for Y2K readiness. Existing source libraries can be converted using the utility OOSUP0. This utility selection can be found on the Source-IV pop-up menu "Source-IV Update".

So that source libraries can be compatible with older versions, the Source Backup/Restore has been modified to convert the source dates as needed. If a source backup is done on 8.4.2 and restored on a pre-8.4.2 release, the source dates will have been converted to their old format, and visa-versa.
