[Dxbase] Caution when adding Mapping for a Prefix - Old1 Date column

[Ron Stordahl]

Wouldn't you also have to add the info for YT6, YT3, YU3, 4O3 and 4O6, thus:

In the Alias Map table:

Map PFX = YT6
Pri PFX = YU6
Old1 PFX = YU
Old1 Date = 2006-07-2006

and similarly for YT3, YU3, 4O3 and 4O6?

(and perhaps for KH8S also might WH8S and AH8S be needed at some point)
