dbPrint		Version 2.00	05-Mar-96

Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
dbPrint is a small app (developed with Delphi) to display and print of
a table's structure, and to also pack tables.

Whats New
~~~~~~~~~
The ability to pack a selected table.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install dbPrint just place it in any convenient sub-directory and add
it to a Program Manager group.

Please note that you must have BDE installed for dbPrint to run.

Using
~~~~~
dbPrint displays three forms.

1. Database form - displays available database's.
2. Table form    - displays tables within the selected database.
3. Fields form   - display fields and structures within the selected
                   table.

All three forms are selectable via the Main Menu.

The Field form displays the following :-

1. Field name
2. Type  - The type of field. i.e. String
3. Rqd   - Whether data is required for the field.
4. Idx   - Which field is the primary index.
5. Len   - The length of a field.
6. Bytes - The Amount of space a field takes up within a record.

The File|Print option produces a printed report of the selections
made. It prints all of the above plus a list of what fields are indexed.

The File|Pack option will pack the selected table.

Future Enhancements (When I get chance)

Multiple selection of tables for printing - requested by Craig Betts
