	Welcome aboard.  To answer your question, I hope to make a
conversion script for the most recent PHP-Nuke database into a Nucleus
database.  I'll add directions for backing up and restoring the PHP-Nuke
database, so that you have a way to change your mind.  My original plan
was to keep Nucleus compatible, but that is turning out to be too
difficult.  Several of the other people who offer code and advice have
pointed out that making a new database would be the better solution.  It
took a while, but they've convinced me that they were right.

	Since Nucleus is currently undergoing a complete re-design and
about a 75% to 90% re-write, there is no conversion system yet.  When it
gets to a point that it might be useful to someone other than developers,
I'll start working on the conversion scripts.  I can't honestly say when
that will be, though.
