Some Changes in 7.0

Here are some under the hood changes to GoldMine 7.0... 

Datadict.dbf is out, replaced with datadict.xml.  Datadict is the data dictionary, field definitions, etc.

Flags.dbf is out, replaced with flags.dat.  Flags keeps track of how many people are logged into GoldMine.

License.dbf is out, replaced with license.bin.  Keeps track of your license information.

Users.dbf is out, replaced with a users table.  The user list is now a part of the SQL Database!  This will be very nice for reporting.

Users_info.bin stores SQL login information.

DBAlias.ini is new.  This stores database information (server name, database, login, etc. the GoldMine and Contact Set tables.)

There were also some structural changes to the tables:

cal.number2 changed from an INT to a float.
opmgr.f3 is now 20 characters.
syslog.siteid is now 40 characters.
gssites.siteid is now 40 characters.
conthist.units is now 20 characters.
