Thread-topic: Migration S+2000/SP7
I had some problems due to S+ making major changes to some functions.
They changed grep() to a Unix style pattern search which was totally
different to the old function and this made a lot of my functions fall
over. Fortunately they left the old version as a function called
oldGrep(), but I had to manually change all my grep function calls to
oldGrep, as the migration didn't change those. I think I did a text dump
of all my custom function (~300) and a search and replace in Word, then
sourced them back in.

Also, the table function got changed so that it wouldn't accept negative
values. That messed me around a few times and had me scratching my head.

Had no problems with any of my data though.
