It was created in 2001 :-) I think it was 1.9 - I will find out...

It looks like it might be a meta-data problem...on Panther, a lot of 
files in my archive are showing up as TextEdit files (incl. Xtras and 
.vdb files)...I will take a look at it on OS9 and see if I can generate 
a dump...tedious...

I am trying to extract the schema - I don't need the data, just the 
internal logic...I am updating an engine from a few years ago and 
cannot remember how I built the navigation DB (sad, I know - it was 
documented, but the documentation is in one of many boxes, you know how 
it goes)...
