    The note did say tomorrow - not the day - Since it was writen Sunday  the action is for this afternoon.
    If there is anyone out there who does not like this please notify within one hour. I will start the 
    conversion 2.00 EST. 
    Some new stuff will dribble into brat from now on. So do not update brat until notice come out.
    
    
    regards
        Flemming

    This is a reminder that unless someone objects strongly I (+Betty) will make the conversion of the DB to be compatible with
    both big and small endian machines, scheduled tomorrow afternoon.
    a) The implication are -- 
        Not usuable during transition from any-where 
        Need to update Brat to 2.2
        It is possible to make a copy DB (BrahmsMainArchieve + BrahmsCalArchieve),
        since a backup has to be done in any case that can be used for query only
       The expected down time is 4 hours
        DB backup + conversion 2 h (+1)
        Brat upgrade + installation in new 2 hours.
        Preparing for complaints 1 hours
