Ivan,
	How goes the battle.  Were you able to use my patches for Pg6.3, 
and the style changes?  Also, would it be a worthwhile change (in the 
PG6.3 version) to get rid of CounterFile.pm?  Pg6.3 has sequence number 
tables which can do exactly what the CounterFile.pm does, but it is all 
in the server.  In addition, it allows the following:

  insert into cust_pkg (pkgnum, ..) values (nextval('cust_pkg_seqno'), ..) ;

which allocates a unique pkgnum as it is inserted into cust_pkg.  This 
gives a more atomic operation than you currently have, where you get a 
number, do some data integrity checks and then add the new record.
