		     Release Notes for Dbank Version 93-7


Dbank is a network-ready, tree-structured filing system for time-series and
cross-sectional data that runs under Microsoft Windows.	In addition to providing
numerous commands for managing, editing, manipulating, viewing and plotting such
data, Dbank allows you to export the data to many statitical packages and
spreadsheet programs.

Dbank could be useful to people who need to organize a lot of data on their hard
disk; it might be useful to people who keep the same data in different formats
because they routinely use more than one statistical/spreadsheet package to
analyze their data; and it is likely to be useful to institutions/corporations
with large databases that need to be shared with many users across different
platforms.

Provided you have Windows 3.1 or higher and Windows is NOT already loaded,
you can start Dbank from the DOS prompt by typing: dbank

To run Dbank successfully, you must load SHARE.EXE BEFORE you start Windows.
If your DOS directory is in your DOS path, you can do this by typing:

	    SHARE /L:500

at the DOS prompt.

DBANKDOC.PS is an ASCII PostScript file containing the manual. It can be
sent directly to a PostScript printer without further processing.

All the files in the original dbankwin.exe directory can now be erased.
