;
; This is the initialization file for the programme DbTrans. It is a 
; normal ASCII text file which you can edit with any text editor (such 
; as Lexa Text).
;
; Note that the programme only reads information from those
; lines which do NOT begin with a semi-colon.
;
; To indicate a positive value for a parameter you may type either
; the word "yes" or the number "1" (without inverted commas). A
; negative value is symbolised by either "no" or "0".
;
; If you change any parameters then be very careful to keep
; to the pre-determined format as outlined in the comments below.
;
; DbTrans only reads the setup file on starting. To operate the programme
; with altered parameters you must exit, edit this initialisation file
; and start DbTrans again.
;
; If you pass the name of this file to DbTrans from the DOS command line
; then the programme starts in the Batch Mode. Normally in this mode there
; is no call for user input as the values for all parameters are specified
; in advance. However, if you set the value for Manual Operation to "yes"
; then user input will be required, namely to confirm replacement of finds.

; 4: File template for text(s) to be altered by DbTrans
;
TRANS.*
;
;
; 5: File or file template for output text(s) to be created by DbTrans
;
;    (Note: leave this line empty if DbTrans is to overwrite files, 
;     i.e. alter existing files and not create new ones; an output file
;     template MUST be different from an input file template otherwise
;     the programme will abort)
;
TRANS_OUT.*
;
;    Take Care! For DbTrans to create a new output file from each input
;    file it examines, the input and output file templates must contain
;    a different name up to the dot and after this a single asterisk as
;    in the examples above, i.e. input and output files can only differ
;    in their names.
;
;
; 6: Automatically overwrite any new files to be created?
;
no
;
; 7: Ignore case during search for terms?

;
; 9: Can words be open ended?

; 10: Are the input files WordPerfect (1) or ASCII (0) texts
;

;
; 11: Should DbTrans be executed in manual mode?
;
no
;
; 12: Ignore COCOA header?

yes
;
; 13: User-defined comment line (1 char.)
