[pilot-db-list] data conv

[Doug <min...@ea...>]

Hi I'm PLUNGER
Not sure I'm in the right place (this seems to be for program developers =
and I am a simple "end user".) but I had to write and say thank you for =
the best data base program.
I am a Plumber by trade and needed access to my inventory data that is =
currently on my PC in .DBF format(The Invoice Store 4.0 {canned DBase =
for DOS} , also GREAT!).
Your DB program for the PALM was just what I was Looking for and the =
front end and lay-out are absolutely perfect , great Job!.
I have 2 Questions(Complaints?)
    1: Will the final Product be Easier to convert and load data into =
the palm?
I had to chop and format the DBF file(in MSWorks) and save as CSV, Then =
write a "INFO"file, Then use cryptic dos commands to combine the two =
files and save the resulting PDB file, find it (in the install section =
of palm desktop) and hotsync it.
If I had to do that weekly it would not be worth it.
    2:Any ideas on when , where , and how much($) for the first working =
(not testing) version ?
I am using it extensively and feel guilty for relying on Your =
programmers hard work and not paying for it.
