WELCOME TO CARTE BLANCHE THE DATA HANDLER
-----------------------------------------
Overview
--------
Carte Blanche the Data Handler is a utility program for
use with dBase III compatible DBF files. Carte Blanche will recognize
and allow access to any dBase III DBF file, and provide the ability
to modify, manipulate and create output from the DBF. Some of the
more interesting features include a Query Interface, Form Letters,
Labels , List Printer, Data Entry, Modify Structure , Intelligent
Import , Global Search and Replace, Duplicate Finder, Frequency
and Time Period Analysis.
Carte Blanche is primarily intended for those with existing
DBF data files, who wish to now DO SOMETHING with all that data. The
program grew out of my own frustration with attempts to get useful
information from DBF files, using existing DBMS and vertical market
programs.
A working knowledge of DOS is assumed on the part of the user.
Installation
------------
The Carte Blanche system should be installed either in the
drive and directory where Carte Blanche will be used, or on a drive
and directory accessible by the DOS PATH. To install, go to the
directory where Carte Blanche will reside, insert the Carte Blanche
disk in drive A: and type A:INSTALL. CARTE.EXE will be created in
the current drive and directory. When first installed, this is the
only file needed. (System Files will be created later)
DOS Concerns
------------
DOS Version 3.0 or above should be used. Carte Blanche will not
run with earlier versions of DOS. At the DOS prompt type VER. The DOS
version will be displayed.
The DOS CONFIG.SYS file, usually found in the root directory of
drive C: should be modified as needed to contain the lines:
FILES=20
BUFFERS=20
The FILES and BUFFERS amounts may be higher, but not lower. If
the CONFIG.SYS file had to be modified, reboot the computer before
running Carte Blanche.
Usage
-----
Carte Blanche is started by typing CARTE. The Carte Blanche main
screen will appear. From there, simply press F1 at any time for Carte
Blanches Online Hypertext Help. The FULL MANUAL is online at all times!
I hope you find Carte Blanche helpful and easy to use, and I hope
it helps you break the dBase barrier!
