[Difx-users] some issues with db2vex

[Walter Brisken]

This program likely only operates properly within the VLBA due to its 
dependence on our Oracle database (and hence the need to load the 
cx_Oracle module).  It has since been moved out of the difxdb repository 
to prevent unintended use.

There may be some code in db2vex that is of use in parsing field system 
logs.  Feel free to use the db2vex code that you found as a basis for 
doing that, but don't expect anything that is not in the logs to be 
supported.
