Dear Reader:

We are providing two sets of utilities with source code to you for free.
They have been quite helpful to us, and we hope that you will find it useful
too.  We encourage you to distribute it to friends,and other users of Foxpro
in your organization.  You may also print it in your news-letters, post it
in various BBSes or include it in your programs without any obligations to
us.  We only ask you to not erase the credits or change in any way this
letter, and to give us your precious feedbacks.

Through the years, we have developed scores of utilities for our own use.
If you have any specific requirements, maybe we can help.  If we don't 
have it, maybe we can also do it specifically for you.
	
We are a software development company that specializes in Xbase programming. 
We have presently more than twenty programmers, and provide the software
needs of scores of companies here in the Philippines, specifically in areas
like accounting, inventory, payrolls, receivables, employee evaluations,
financing, and production scheduling. These utilities are the offshots
of trying to find out the most efficient ways to do things. For sure they
can be improved.  That is why we earnestly seek your suggestions. We also 
provide offsite Xbase programming services to software companies abroad, 
including Taiwan, Hongkong and the United States. They contract us to 
do their software by giving us their specs, and we usually also help 
them do their beta testing,and documentation. Most times, source
code and rights are always included.

The costs in the Philippines is much lower.  If you should be interested in
having quality programming services that will not drain your pocket, or
simply documentation services, why not try us?

The utility is divided into two sets.  Following is the explanation of the
various files in the disk. As you study the program, it will help if you
print it out first.  All can be accomodated in 80 col.printer, except
test3.str or any str generated by 2techdoc, one of the utilities which need
132 column or compressed mode.
