HOW TO USE THE "TOSDUMP" PROGRAM
--------------------------------

This program is for non-commercial purposes only!

The TosDump program is used to create text-only output files from your ToShoW
database. The ToShoW program is used to select the desired records (any or all),
and also allows you to sort the records. The TosDump program then creates a
text-only output file.

The procedure is as follows:

0) Put the TOSDUMP.EXE file in the same folder as ToShoW resides.

1) Run ToShoW.

2) Do a "Find", and select the desired records. Note that if you leave all of
the selection criteria blank, you will get the entire database.

3) Select "List", the select "Sort the current list...".

4) Select the desired sort criteria, then click OK.

5) Open a DOS window, and set your default to be the same folder as ToShoW.

6) Run TOSDUMP .

7) You now have a new file named LIST.TXT, which contains all of the selected
records in a text-only format.

8) Rename the LIST.TXT file to something meaningful, such as "Sorted by name.txt".


Notes:

1) The kanji numbers shown are the "old Nelson" numbers.

2) The text fields are in the following layout:
Record #, Reference #, Smith's name, kanji #s for smith's name
Sensei, Father, Era, Province, School
Misc1, Misc2, Misc3
