TPM SAMPLE


Note:  This file accompanies a sample copy of the TPM.  All TPM files are 
       provided, although the data sample is substantially minimal and 
       should be viewed as illustrative only.
 
       Flat files as well as the Microsoft Access version of the data are
       both provided in the sample.  

       To proceed with the Microsoft Access versions of the data:

       Create a subdirectory folder called C:\ACCESS\TPM_SAMP0915 (09//15/15 
       is the date of the data files) and run (double-click) the TPMSAMP.EXE 
       file to uncompress the sample files into it).  Note: TPMSAMP.EXE, 
       along with this TPMSAMP.TXT file, were generated by clicking on 
       TPMDOWN0915.EXE.

       Click on the TPMAPP0x file that matches your version of Microsoft 
       Access: TPMAPP00.MDB (for Access 2000), TPMAPP02.MDB (Access 2002/XP), 
       TPMAPP03.MDB (for Access 2003), or TPMAPP07.ACCDB (Access 2007 or 
       later).  Note that the Microsoft Access files of the TPM are a 
       database only, not the Access software application.

       To proceed with flat files only:

       Create an appropriate subdirectory, place the TPMSAMP.EXE in that
       subdirectory, then click on TPMSAMP.EXE to explode all the files.  The
       created .DAT files are, for the most part, the flat file versions of 
       the TPM data. 

       General Notes:

       SPECSTP.DOC provides flat file layouts and a brief description of 
       all data files.  GLOSSARY.DOC provides field definitions.  Further 
       information on use and installation of the Access versions of the TPM 
       can be reviewed in the INSTALL.DOC file.
