Jimo,
Thanks for bringing up the topic of Y2K testing of Omega products.
Certainly a useful exercise that we could all benefit from.
It's neat that you can generate 3.5 data at will. I remember you saying
earlier that the compression in 4.0 format has spoiled this approach.
What I wonder is: If you can create data in 3.5 format,
why can't you turn it into 4.0 format with Omega's own
data conversion program that is supplied with 4.0?
Then you wouldn't have to unravel 4.0's storage scheme.
