>Must I write a low-level I-O program to copy existing Sketches to files and then APPEND MEMO FROM or is there a way to change the Header of the DBF to make the "General" Field a "Memo" field? Can I get away with this caper.. or is there something that would prohibit me from doing this? Finally, can this be done without rewriting the entire DBF?

What is the file format for "Sketches"? BMP? WMF? DXF? other?
