ASCTO123 1.1 Converts ASCII data files to WK1 format Registration $ 25.00
SDN_DATA DEC93 SPREADSHEET LOTUS TRANSLATE IMPORT
FILES: ascto123.sdn
Author: Strider Software
An invaluable utility for the power spreadsheet user. The ASCII To 1-2-3
File Translator program (ASCTO123.EXE) converts fixed field ASCII text
files (such as database files downloaded from a mainframe) into Lotus
1-2-3 WK1 format.
Each record can be as long as 32000 characters, as compared with the 511
character limit for 1-2-3 v3.x.
ASCTO123 automatically splits the records into their components fields, and
writes each field value to a separate cell in the WK1 file. Each field can have
a data type of LABEL, DATE, TIME or NUMBER, and is automatically converted
to the corresponding 1-2-3 data type. NO PARSING IS REQUIRED!
In addition, ASCTO123 automatically formats numeric, time and date fields, sets
the column widths, and writes a row of column headings to describe each field.
ASCTO123 has flexible command line switches which can be used to customize
the translation process to add/remove column headings, include/exclude fields in
the WK1 file, specify the order of the fields in the WK1 file, to modify the
default format for the various data types, and more.
Hardware Requirements : IBM PC, PC-compatible or MS-DOS computer
640k RAM.
Other Requirements : DOS 3.x or higher.
