FMS File Merger

How it works:

   On the first screen, a list of category numbers and descriptions
 are shown.  After selecting the area to be updated (a mouse may be
 used to make the selection), or using F2 the activate the Automatic
 option, a second screen appears showing which category will be
 updated and the date of the update.  Automatic mode will update all
 categories for a given period.
   When prompted for the date, please enter it as requested (mmyy).
 All update files are coded as follows:
         March 1992 updates would have the extension .C92,
         April will be .D92 and so on.
   After updating all of the catagories you may delete all of the
 MSTR*.?9? files.

 !!IMPORTANT!!

   Updates should applied starting with oldest and working through to
 the most recent.  The program itself doesn't care in what order the
 updates are processed, but the resulting catalog will be out of
 chronological sequence.


User Notes:

   1) This handy little utility will help you upgrade your existing
 catalog with the monthly (or quarterly, it depends on the Sys-Op)
 updates.  If you do not already have a complete copy of our entire
 catalog "MSTR-ALL.ZIP", please consider downloading it.  If you have
 only downloaded a few catagories, you can selectively update these
 catagories with this program.

   2) If you decided not to download the master listing.  These updates
 will become your new Master Sys-Com File Catalog and you can continue
 to update it on a monthly (or whatever) basis from here on in.

If you have any questions about this Update Program, please feel free
to call Sys-Com BBS at (807) 768-1255 or (807) 768-0014.
