RE: BPCS documentation

Hi All:
I have a C utility using the access database I got from SSA consultant
called BPCS Data Base Viewer. Features include
1. List of all BPCS Files
2. List of all the program.
3. Click on the file name to get all the field attributes for the program
4. Excellent Search capability by File Name, File Description, Field name,
Field Description, Program description.
5. Ability to print or convert to any PC format all physical and logical
file definitions.

The Program is 7.4MB Zipped, So if anyone is interested please contact me
directly.

Ashok
