Hi ~

just did a compare (fc) of a brandnew table against a table with identical struture that
had contained data and had since been emptied.

The fc shows a few bytes that are different - what do they pertain to?

TIA,
Kai

I've noticed this too.  I suspect that the file includes some date/time
stamps.  I compare tables by opening them and comparing the contents.
(Actually I convert the contents into Python objects and run a diff
algorithm over them so I can see where the differences are, but that's
just showing off.)

Housekeeping stuff such as update counters, etc.
