Phase 3 conversion and the need to start at Phase 2?

[Eric Rhee <erhee@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings - For a variety of reasons we remained on 2002 Phase 1.  However,
we are preparing to migrate to Phase 3.  I was told long ago by III that I
could go directly from Phase 1 to 3, but I have read otherwise in these
postings.  Do I need to install Phase 2 so that various files (patron, bib,
item,  order, acq etc.) will be updated in a way needed for Phase 3 or can I
sucessfully go directly from Phase 1 to Phase 3?   And, thanks to all of you
who have converted to Phase 3 for sharing your experiences and details. I,
for one,  am keeping a notebook of them in anticipation of THE day.
