Welcome to quoting hell. :-)
But I had a tcl tablecopy, and my databases all have a data definition so
doing it the right way was real easy. But I did want to point out that the
recommended .DUMP method is flawed.

I used the .DUMP method but found a problem. My char/text fields containg
numbers were output as pure numbers without the quotes, so that on input
to ver 3 they were stored as integer rather than string. This is a kind of
bug in .DUMP. Maintaining the textedness of values in columns with text
affinity in ver 2 would ease the move to ver 3.
You could probably edit the quotes back in reasonably quickly using
any regular expression capable text editor.
