+ 
+ Upgrading Forms:
+ ================
+ The 0.5.0 release of gnue-forms uses a gfd format that is incompatible
+ with prior releases.  A utility named gfd04to05.py has been provided 
+ in the forms/utils/ directory that will convert a pre 0.5.0 form to the 
+ new format.
+ 
+ Usage:
+ gfd04to05.py oldFormName.gfd newFormName.gfd
+ 
+ If you omit the second name (newFormName.gfd) then gfd04to05.py
+ will create a backup of your form in oldFormName.gfd-PRE050 then
+ overwrite the existing form with the new format.
