"Reconciling" can occur on a couple different levels:
  1. Identical scripts work identically on both systems, even though the actual data storage may be different.
  2. Files created on one system are interchangable with those on the other.
Number one is an issue right now because of a short-sighted decision I made several years ago. That was to apply locking to the actual datafiles, rather than to separate lockfiles. Not smart because, to do so, I have to know the name of the data file. And now they're different between the two systems. Oops! That may be easy to remedy, though.

Number two is harder, because I've got archival data I'd just as soon not have to recreate just to accomodate a different DBM. I suppose some sort of conversion routine might not be out of the question, however.
