The process will take more than two days, so unless it's some-one with
under 30 sources you can probably count on the answer being No. At this
point it all has to be done manually through each and every field,
stopping only to look up the bits you didn't take note of the first time
around. Long, long process.

Dear LUG:
Well, I for one, would like to use the Source Writer feature of Legacy 7
Deluxe. I think it's an excellent concept and wish it had been available for
the past decade that I have been accumulating and documenting sources and
references.
My questions:
1)Has anyone jumped in and actually converted over all of their old sources
to the new system?
2)Were there any problems?
3)How long did it take you to convert?

I agree that I love the idea of the Source Writer and if it had been there
from the beginning I might have done things different. However I am a
splitter and rarely use the source detail. All the information is placed in
the source itself. I might use it on a book with multiple people in it.
But that is it.
As a result and for consistency, I probably won't be using the Source Writer
at this time. It will require more investigation. Maybe convert the
sources in a small sample database and see what happens.
