Yes, I use SQCONV also...for other evil purposes though.  A renum util it ain't. :)

The Scott Dudley renum util (MR/MRP) I'm referring to is bundled in the
=Maximus= distribution, not Squish.  They find the areas using Max's
.DAT/.IDX files and there are some specific MAX.CTL verbs for renum
parameters.

I suspect that you could determine the limits based on type declaration
based on the source you already have before you.  There's probably not a
safer recommendation for Mike B, using Squish and with Y2K concerns, than
Scott's own code.  I just don't know if he's using Max or not and whether
it would be too much trouble to pretend that he is, if he's not.
