Converts data base files to Word Perfect secondary merge files
To start the program enter dPERFECT at the DOS command line.
If you are using a trial version, press any key to pass the
registration screen (or you will pause for 9 seconds).
Answer each question followed by [Enter]. To proceed without
answering additional questions, use [F10] to continue. To
exit to the menu at any time, use [Esc]. To clear a response
field, use [Ctrl-Y]. To select a file from a directory
listing, use [F2]. To select a field name from a field list,
use [F4].
CREATE MERGE FILE
"Enter path and filename of source data base file:"
This is the source data base from which your data will be
read and converted. This can be any valid dBase III Plus,
Clipper, Foxbase, Foxpro or compatible data base. Pathnames
are required if your data base is not in the current
directory. The ".DBF" extension is optional. If you enter a
filename that doesn't exist or is not a valid data base, you
will not exit from the field. This is a required field.
To view a directory listing use [F2]. Enter the directory
path you wish to view, including a DOS file skeleton using
the wildcard characters "?" or "*". To view all files use
the "*.*" skeleton. To view a listing of the current
directory, just press [Enter]. To scroll through the
directory listing use [Up arrow], [Down arrow], [Home] and
[End]. To select a file, use [Enter]. To exit from the
directory listing without selecting a file, use [Esc].
"Enter key expression to create index:"
This is an optional field. If you wish to dynamically create
an index for your data base, enter a single field name or a
compound key expression (e.g. STATE+CITY). Your merge file
will be sorted on this expression. For example, to create
mailing labels in zip code order, enter the zip code field
name from your data base. If you enter an invalid expression
or field name, you will not exit from this field. Memo and
logical fields are not allowed. To skip this question,
press [Enter]. For more examples, see "Key Index
Expressions" on Page 10
The index that is created is erased before exiting the
program. To select a field from a list of field names, use
[F4]. To scroll through the list use [Up arrow], [Down
arrow], [Home] and [End]. To select a field name from the
list, use [Enter]. To exit the list without selecting a
field, use [Esc].
