LASSO! V2.0
===========
ASCII -> DBF file converter
(c) 1992, 1993 MARK TYNAN
What is LASSO?
==============
LASSO! converts data in non-CSV ASCII files into DBF format
files. LASSO! would ideally be used in a situation where
you wanted to convert data in an ASCII report file into DBF
format. The fields of data in the ASCII file must be laid
out in columns.
Unlike most other programs of this type, LASSO! allows you to
view and scroll through your ASCII file and define your fields
'on the fly'.
LASSO! also allows you to ignore blank lines in your ASCII file
when you are converting to DBF format.
Using LASSO!
============
LASSO! is extremely simple and intuitive to use - the keys to
available options and menus are always displayed on the screen.
When converting an ASCII to a DBF format file, you must have an
appropriate DBF file already set up. LASSO! will append to the
DBF file if it already contains any records.
LASSO! demo limitations
=======================
This is the Public-Domain release of LASSO! and is limited to 100
records. Please feel free to copy and distribute it IN IT'S
ORIGINAL FORM WITHOUT MODIFICATION.
You can get the unrestricted version of LASSO! for $40 by sending
off the order form enclosed in this file. This is the commercial
version of LASSO! and has no limitations on the amount of records
you can create.
Differences from LASSO Version 1.00
===================================
As such, this is Version 2.0 of LASSO! LASSO! V1.00 could
only convert data in ASCII files of up to 80 characters
in width, Version 2.0 can now handle ASCII files of up to
260 characters in width.
The few bugs that existed in Version 1.00 have now been
ironed out.
