16TITLE           ARB intro window
17
18                Open, merge or create ARB databases.
19
20DESCRIPTION     Allows to open an existing 'ARB' database, to merge two 'ARB'
21                databases, and to create a new 'ARB' database importing external
22                data.
23
24                To open an existing 'ARB' database, select a '*.arb' file from
25                the 'Existing Files and Directories' subwindow and press
26                the 'OPEN SELECTED' button to display the ARB main window.
27
28                To merge (parts of) two 'ARB' databases,
29                press the 'MERGE TWO ARB DATABASES' button.
30
31                To create a new 'ARB' database, press the 'CREATE AND IMPORT'
32                button to display the 'ARB IMPORT' window.
33
34NOTES           A suffix typed or displayed in the 'Suffix' subwindow is used as
35                a filter for the file names to be displayed in the 'Existing
36                Files and Directories' subwindow.
37
38                If you want to load a specified ARB quick-save file, remove the
39                suffix and select the wanted file.
40
41                ARB databases stored in any directory with read and write
42                permission can be opened starting 'arb' from the current
43                directory. Find the path by successively selecting the
44                corresponding directories from the 'Existing Files and
45                Directories' subwindow.
46
47                You might also specify the name of a database or just a directory
48                in the command line.
