If you are already running a Version 6 or higher release of tableBASE or if you are a first time user of tableBASE, omit this step.
If you are upgrading from a pre-Version 6 release, tableBASE libraries must be converted to Version 6 format. Before beginning this step, see Converting tableBASE libraries.
If you have previously installed the Library Bridge and have converted your libraries to Bridge format, you have two options. You can convert your Bridge libraries to the Version 6 format or you can continue to use your Bridge libraries.
The following steps for converting tableBASE libraries to the Version 6 format applies to customers who are not using the Library Bridge and have never upgraded to a Version 6 release, and for customers who are using the Library Bridge and would like to convert their Bridge libraries.
