Stone Design Ships
DP_Importer

San Francisco,  June 20, 1994 P Stone Design began shipping a new
front-end module for DataPhile which allows you to import fixed
length data with no field delimiters into DataPhile.

Data from mainframe systems oftens times comes as "packed" ascii
data where each field size is known in advance, and can be decoded
based on a data map. DP_Importer lets you create, save and open
these data maps.

It features a "foolproof" 1-2-3 interface modeled after Simple
Network Starter: you drag in your data, you drag in your data map
(or create one on the fly), and you either tell DataPhile to create
a new database or add these records to an existing database.

It is an excellent tool for "data-dipping" - retrieving records
from large corporate databases, and then manipulating the data with
the power and ease of DataPhile.

DP_Importer.app is available free via ftp, and at a nominal
media/handling charge for DataPhile customers.

*DataPhile was named the "The Best DataBase product of 1992" by a Usenet survey.
