	It feels like a dream too good to be true, but I keep pinching myself,  
and I don't wake up, so it must be a dream, I mean true; DataPhile has shipped!
	
	The demo version allows you to do everything with the sole limitation  
of being able to store only 25 records.

	In next/pub/submissions on cs.orst.edu and sonata.cc.purdue.edu is  
DataPhile.tar, which contains:
	
drwxr-xr-x  2 andrew   wheel       1024 Apr  7 14:36 DataPhile.pkg/
drwxr-xr-x  2 andrew   wheel       1024 Apr  7 14:37 DataPhileAux.pkg/
drwxr-xr-x  2 andrew   wheel       1024 Apr  3 11:50 DataPhileUpdater.pkg/
-rw-rw-rw-  1 andrew   wheel       3324 Apr  7 14:33 DataPhile_ReleaseNotes.rtf

sum DataPhile.tar
14814  1592

Expect the usual migration to pub/next/demos on orst, and  
pub/next/2.0-release/demos on sonata.

DataPhile.pkg is the app with help files and template databases.
DataPhileAux.pkg has the labels templates and sample databases. Check out  
MedicalConvention.dp, to see a full blown database with many views.
DataPhileUpdater.pkg contains dpUpdater app, which converts beta DataPhile  
databases to the release 1.0 format*
DataPhile_ReleaseNotes.rtf has installation instructions, tips for converting  
databases, and manual errata.

*this is what has held up the ship date for so long: we wanted the release  
version to be compatible with 3.0 NeXTstep system software, which it is, but we  
had to wait to get all the goodies available in 3.0. As a result, your early  
databases are not directly compatible, but can automatically be converted by  
dpUpdater to the new format. See DataPhile_ReleaseNotes.rtf for more details.
