What is 2TSHOP ?
2TSHOP is a conversion program written specifically for the TeleShoppe(tm)
online shopping door. 2TSHOP will convert your INGRAM MICRO, MERISEL or
MICROBIZ database over to the TeleShoppe SE 01 format and allow you to put
literally thousands of items online instantly!.
What it is not:
2TSHOP is not a database processor. It does not reverse engineer any other
database types. This program strictly opens up the requested database and
extracts the compatible data and then rewrites the TeleShoppe(tm) database.
New Items:
2Tshop will now allow you to append databases together if a TSHOP.DBF file
exists in the current directory.
Usage:
Using 2TSHOP is very simple and straight forward. If you enter on the
command line 2TSHOP without any arguments you will be presented with the
default help screen:
________________________________________________________________________
Program Usage: 2TShop <Type File> <% of Markup> <Category|Ingram Only>
Where <Type File> is either - INGRAM
- MERISEL
- MICROBIZ
- INFOTEL
Where <% of Markup> is a percentage (ie., .20)
Where <Category> is either - MAJORCAT (For INGRAM DB ONLY!)
- VENDOR '' ''
example: To convert the INGRAM MICRO database with a 20 percent markup,
using the MAJOR categories enter: 2TShop INGRAM .20 MAJORCAT
example: To convert the MERISEL database with a 10 percent markup, enter:
2TShop MERISEL .10
example: To convert the MICROBIZ database enter: 2TShop MICROBIZ
example: To convert the INFOTEL database with a 10 percent markup, enter:
2TShop INFOTEL .10
________________________________________________________________________
First copy the 2TSHOP.EXE file to your database directory (ie., \INGRAM
or \MERISEL, \MICROBIZ \INFOTEL).
There is (1) required command line entry for the MICROBIZ database, (2)
for the Merisel DB and 3 for the Ingram database and they must be made in
the following manner. The first command line entry is the TYPE of file
you are converting. If you are using the INGRAM database your required
entry is INGRAM, if you are using MERISEL's database your required entry
would be MERISEL and if your using the MICROBIZ database your entry would
be MICROBIZ.
So far your command line looks like :
2TSHOP INGRAM or
2TSHOP MERISEL or
2TSHOP MICROBIZ or
2TSHOP INFOTEL
The next command line entry is the markup percentage. This is the ACROSS
THE BOARD markup that you want 2TSHOP to put in the database as your
markup percentage. If you want to charge 17 percent across the board you
will enter .17 (Don't forget the decimal point!). ( * This does NOT work
with the MICROBIZ database. The PRICE field is used for the total cost).
So now your command line would look like one of the following:
2TSHOP MERISEL .15 // Merisel with a 15% markup
2TSHOP INGRAM .17 // Ingram with a 17% markup
2TSHOP INGRAM 1 // Ingram with a 100% markup
2TSHOP MICROBIZ // Microbiz with standard pricing
2TSHOP INFOTEL .14 // Infotel with a 14% markup
Lastly if your using the Ingrams database you have to enter what will be
used as the category listing that is shown to your users. Normally TSHOP
will show the users the VENDORS NAME as the categories available. If you
desire to show these names you must put VENDOR as the last command line
option:
2TSHOP INGRAM .17 VENDOR //Ingram with a 17% markup and vendor names
If you desire 2TSHOP to read the MAJORCAT database file and assign each
item to a major category then your required entry is MAJORCAT. Major
categories groups items under names such as ACCESSORIES, WORD PROCESSING,
etc....
2TSHOP INGRAM .17 MAJORCAT // Ingram with a 17% markup and major
// category names
In the conversion process, 2TSHOP will take the additional comment line
in the INGRAM database and make a extended description out of it. The
Merisel database contains no such extra information.
and last of all, 2TSHOP is looking for the following file names:
INGRAM - CATALOG.DBF, MAJORCAT.DBF
MERISEL - MSDATA.DBF
MICROBIZ - PRODUCT.DBF
INFOTEL - PRICES.DBF
-=* NEW *=-
If 2tshop finds a TSHOP.DBF file in the current directory, 2tshop will
ask you if you want to append the databases together. This will allow
users of Merisel and Ingrams etc, to have over 40,000 items online!
To finish, you must copy the following files over to your TeleShoppe SE01
directory:
TSHOP.DBF
TSHOP.NDX
TSHOP.DBT
TSHOP.CAT
