The CONVERT.C that comes with the FROM/64 Modification is not the one you
should always use.  WWIV 4.21a comes stocked with the 64 Sub Modification
BUILT IN, but you cannot use the aforementioned CONVERT.C with it, due
to the fact that you will also get the structure for the FROM modification,
which you do not want.  In WWIV's INIT program, there is an option (option
N) to convert the 4.21 standard userrec to the 4.21a extended userrec.

If you have modified the userrec at all, you must write your own CONVERT.C
to upgrade to virgin 4.21a.
