About ReDelim
-------------

This utility was originally written for a specific application, and has
gradually become a valuable tool.  Its sole purpose in life is to take a
delimited ASCII file and change the delimiting scheme without affecting the
data.  This has come in handy when converting Mac tab-delimited files to
comma-quote files, for example--ReDelim's original task.


Using ReDelim
-------------

This file includes all DLLs and other files necessary to run ReDelim.  Also
included is VBRUN300.DLL, required for Visual Basic apps.

Installing ReDelim is easy.  Just run the setup program in Windows and tell
it where to install the files.  If you have problems with running the setup
program from a hard disk (which you shouldn't) you can copy all of the files
to a floppy disk and run setup from there.

To use the utility, select the input and output files, either by typing in the
required information or by clicking on the In File and OutFile buttons.  If
you want to see the first record of the In File, you can click on the First
Rec button.

After selecting the files, you need to specify the delimiters to ReDelim.  This
is done in the ASCII and Char columns in the Change From and Change To areas.
The ASCII column is where you can specify the delimiting characters by decinal
ASCII codes separated by commas.  The Char column is where you can specify the
delimiting characters by typing in the actual characters.

ReDelim will convert data in each column to the appropriate character or number
codes in the corresponding column automatically, but you can see the results
of the conversion before running by clicking the Convert button at the bottom
of the screen.

To best illustrate this process, here is how you would convert a tab-delimited
file to a comma-quote file.

		Change From---------------	Change To-----------------

		ASCII		Char		ASCII		Char
		----------	----------	----------	----------
Rec Start					34		"
Between		9		TAB		34,44,34	","
Rec End						34		"


ReDelim recognizes TAB, CR, LF and CRLF as codes for the tab, carriage return,
line feed, and carriage return/line feed delimiters.


Limitations
-----------

Some applications create files that delimit numeric fields different than
character fields.  ReDelim version 1.0 makes the assumption that all fields
in the record are delimited in the same manner, and will not process files of
this type correctly.  But...

Registering ReDelim will get you a copy of the most recent version, which does
process these files correctly.  It will also get you free tech support and
the ability to talk me into custom versions of this and other utilities you
might need.


Good luck and enjoy ReDelim!
