one step towards an Ark that is easier to use

Well, 2.0.12.1 is out. The gencal utility has been updated and the crc command has been revamped.

Be sure to rerun "gencal 05" and to rerun crc on all cabinets other than cal and CompStrm.
(This is spelled out on the getting started page in the data migration section.)

So what's next? How about:
  1. A restrict header in DescriptorUnits for a bit more flexibility.
  2. A DescriptorUnit header in DescriptorUnits of DescriptorUnits. Now when creating a DescriptorUnit, the du command can be run automagicly.
  3. An LSec in DescriptorUnits which gives the column names to be used when an LSec table is created. Great for when you're creating a lot of tables with the same columns.

Small improvements, but I suspect there will be a cumulative effect on ease of use. Eventually we should have forms for adding a row to a table. (One small step at a time, OK?)
