I am getting back into writing after dealing with some personal issues, and have found that the Exclude flag (formerly known as "Informative" so may still be that in the database) is apparently not saved as part of the file in version 6.00 or 6.02.

Hello Don,

Yes, I forgot one instruction. Version 6.02 has been corrected. Please download it from the French page:

I updated the english website.

Got it thanks.
Hey, I still have some files in mv.db format. Is there some way to read those, short of installing a series of old versions to update the things in several steps?

Hello Don,

Unfortunately I haven't translated it yet but you can read it using "Google translate".
