Well it seems that i might have it all wrong, on the unix filepro utillity  
menu option 4 say's  CONVERT FILES FROM MS-DOS FILEPRO  I have  used this 
before and it worked, i just pop in a diskette and it converts the  database from 
dos format to the unix format nicely, but when i tried to  access the database 
in unix useing file creation as an example i get this  filepro error "File has 
been illegally modified"
or are you guy's saying  that, that option does not work anymore?
Well that's interesting.  I too have that as an option. 
4  Convert files from MSDOS  filePro
@/fp/scripts/doconvert 

However, I don't  have that program in *my* scripts directory :-( 
Otherwise I'd help you debug  it.

Anyone else not have it?

# cd /appl/fp/scripts
# ls  -l
total 88
-rwx------  1 root  wheel   1204 Oct  19  2004 addunlock
-rwx------  1 root   wheel    838 Oct 19  2004 devlist
-rw-------  1  root  wheel   1751 Oct 19  2004  fp.list
-rwx------  1 root  wheel   3407 Oct 19   2004 fpbackup
-rwx------  1 root  wheel   2902 Oct  19  2004 fprestore
-rwx------  1 root  wheel    5508 Oct 19  2004 setperms
-rwx------  1 root  wheel   64688 Oct 19  2004 sitepwd
-rwx------  1 root   wheel   2472 Oct 19  2004 whatdev

And it's nowhere  on the box...
# locate doconvert
#

So I guess it's  
1) either a script that was a add-on purchase with 5.0
2) or Someone  forgot to add it to the scripts directory
3) or Someone forgot to remove it  from the default util menu
4) I've got a 4.X util menu (most likely  possible)

My guess for your problem is that the map file is not being  converted is why 
your problem is happening. I can't be of much more help  without the script.
