        !             2: .sh NAME
        !             3: indconv - convert secondary indices so that they are compatible
        !             4: with INGRES version 6.1.
        !             5: .sh SYNOPSIS
        !             6: INDCONV dbname
        !             7: .sh DESCRIPTION
        !             8: INDCONV will convert all secondary indices owned by the user
        !             9: in database dbname to be compatible with version 6.1 of INGRES.
        !            10: If more than user has secondary indices in the data base,
        !            11: each user will have to run INDCONV.
        !            12: INDCONV destroys the secondary indices, recreates them
        !            13: and restores them to the proper storage structure and key ordering.
        !            14: The names of the secondary indices are displayed on the user's terminal
        !            15: when they have been successfully converted.
        !            16: .sp
        !            17: Once any secondary index is converted,
        !            18: INGRES version 6.0 should NOT be run.
        !            19: INGRES 6.0 cannot distinguish between 6.0 indices and 6.1 indices
        !            20: and it will crash if it tries to use a 6.0 index.
        !            21: .sp
        !            22: If INGRES version 6.1 attempts to use a secondary index that has not
        !            23: been converted, it will generate an error message
        !            24: telling the user to convert secondary indices to version 6.1.
        !            25: .sh DIAGNOSTICS
        !            26: If there are more than 100 secondary indices,
        !            27: INDCONV will display a message to that effect.
        !            28: INDCONV will convert the first 100 secondary indices it finds.
        !            29: When it is finished, the user should run INDCONV again
        !            30: to convert the remaining secondary indices.
        !            31: .sh "SEE ALSO"
        !            32: index(quel), modify(quel)
        !            33: .sh BUGS
        !            34: There is no recovery program for when INDCONV crashes or is killed.
        !            35: .sp
        !            36: INDCONV cannot tell if the original secondary indices
        !            37: were modified using the fillfactor, minpages or maxpages options.
