- At your office's main computer, you can use TickleX's OUTPUT function to
- create a specialized copy of the data base on a diskette. The data on that
- diskette may then be transferred to a satellite computer. Over time, each
- satellite's copy of the data base will have grown as each user adds events to
- the schedule. After several days (perhaps a week, or so), each satellite's
- modified data base should be transferred on diskette back to the main computer
- and run through TickleX's INPUT routine. The Input routine will add to the
- main computer's data base only those events which were NOT present when each
- satellite's copy of the data base was originally Output from the main computer.
- After all the satellites' new events have been Input into the main computer,
- you're ready once again to use the Output function to create new copies of the
- main computer's up-to-date data base. The process starts again as these new
- copies are then used on each satellite computer.

- If your satellite computer has a hard drive, you'll probably want to
- transfer the data OUTPUT from the main computer to your satellite's hard disk.
- To do so, you need to go through a satellite INPUT routine comparable to that
- used at the main computer. Just place the diskette containing the newly-output
- data into your satellite's floppy drive and press ALT-I at TickleX's menu.
- When it's time to output data from the satellite to the main computer, press
- ALT-O at the satellite's TickleX menu to access the OUTPUT routine.
