Gilmore Systems Proudly Presents:

Data File Debugger (DFD) - Evaluation Version

For All C programmers using: Tubo C, Microsoft C, C86
For All Pascal programmers using: Turbo Pascal, Microsoft Pascal

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please read the file DFD_DESC.TXT for a description of what the Data
File Debugger (DFD) package is all about and what it can do for you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

About this evaluation version:

The supplied documentation in this evaluation copy is complete, and
identical to the documentation found in the commercial package.

The included programs in this evaluation package have limitations, and
some of the utility programs are not included with this evaluation
package. Therefore, some of the programs and techniques in this
evaluation package described in the documentaion will not be possible.

The actual DFD program itself:

The documentation refers to DFD.EXE as the main program. In the
evaluation version, the program is named DFDEVAL.EXE. Therefore,
whenever the documentation refers to the DFD program, it should be taken
as DFDEVAL. You can rename DFDEVAL.EXE to DFD.EXE if you feel more
comfortable with it that way, and it will be more consistent with the
documentation. However, if you pass on this evaluation package to a
friend, please be sure to keep the original naming conventions the same
(ie: keep the name DFDEVAL.EXE).

Program Limitations:

The DFDEVAL program has one feature which is deactivated, and a second
feature which is semi deactivated: The deactivated feature is the ZAP
(or "/z") feature as described in the documentation. The semi
deactivated feature is the DUMP (or "/d") feature as described in the
documentation - DUMP will only dump the first record of any database in
the evaluation version.

The DAD2SRCE program also has one feature which is deactivated in the
evaluation version: it will not recognize the "/L" option, or language
translation.

Excluded Programs:

The following utility programs have been excluded from the evaluation
package and are only supplied with the commercial version:

DADRPT.EXE - generates thorough report of contents of a Data Dictionary
DADSORT.EXE - sorts a data dictionary in alphabetical & reference order

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may use all supplied programs in this evaluation package for a trial
period of 30 days. If after the trial period you find that this package
will be useful to you, you may order the commercial package at our voice
line with your credit card, or through our data number with your modem
and credit card, or you may forward a check drawn on a U.S. bank to us
at our mailing address. California residents must add 6.5% sales tax.

Pricing information for the commercial version: $39.95 with custom,
bound documentation, or $19.95 with documentation supplied on diskette.
Please state at time of order if you wish 5-1/4" or 3-1/2" disks. If
you do not state diskette type, 5-1/4" will be assumed.

If after the evaluation period of 30 days you decide that this package
is not for you, please destroy all copies of it or give it to a friend
who may find it of use.
