I am installing a demo of eloquence on my test Win2k server.

Everything has gone reasonably smoothly, the documentation is complete
if a bit cryptic at times, I have the server up and running and now I am
attempting to create the database from my production schema.

One error that the schema utility reports made me think that I must be
doing something wrong so I dug into the documentation.

From the TurboImage manual:

|   Data Names   | Data names can consist of from 1 to 16 alphanumeric
|
|                | characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.
|
|                | Characters after the first must be chosen from this
set:  |

From the Eloquence manual:

The item name is from 1 through 15 characters and may consist of
uppercase alphabetic characters, the numbers 0 through 9, or the minus
sign (-). The name must begin with a letter. Item names must be unique
within the item section. 


It seems exceedingly strange that they would limit their item names to 1
character shorter than what image allows.

Am I missing something?

How did the rest of you migrators handle this?
