ISAMCVT may have problems converting BTRIEVE data files to the Basic
ISAM format. Some specific instances are:
- Converting files with multiple string fields greater than 255
characters loses the data after the first 256-byte column.
- Using ISAMCVT to convert a BTRIEVE file requires the use of a
SPECFILE which is simply a description of the columns and their
length. An incorrect SPECFILE can lead to memory corruption and
cause errors.
