Hehe: at least we agree on the idea!

Yeah, sure. I really meant the idea of generating the bulk opf the conversion 
code. I agree the OO way is the right thing to do. The memset() takes care of 
those cases where the 97 structure has new fields, and the member-by-member 
assignment takes care of the change in legal range.

I'm pretty busy right now, but I do hope to help here and there. Given that 
you have limited time, use me as needed, but its best not to wait for me 
right now. I will try to heckle you constructively from the back when I can 
:-)
