RE: BPCS documentation

I have an MS Access database with all the BPCS V6.0.02 tables, logicals and
fields. It has a menu with some buttons that call up different views of the
tables and reports on them. Very handy for report writing. Zipped up it's
1.2 MB. If you want it, E-mail me direct for a copy so I don't have to flood
the Internet.
