|      John Esak wrote a filePro documentation program called "Docgen" several
| years ago.  J.P. Radley bought the rights to Docgen from John, and I think
| he can still sell you a copy if you contact him at jpr at jpr.com .
| 
|      I loved Docgen, but AFAIK, it still won't correctly list the indexes
| from filePro version 4.5 or higher.  (At least my old copy of the code won't
| read them...)

I've not run docgen for some years, but I think it copes with 4.5 &
higher.  John and I offered the code to fielPro, and they never said boo
about it one way or the other.

|      Otherwise, Bob Stocker wrote a similar program a few years ago.  Bob
| passed away a couple of years ago, so I'm not sure where to obtain a copy of
| Bob's code.  Somebody on this list must be able to point you to a place to
| get Bob's code.

A good deal of the entries in ftp.jpr.com/pub/filePro are Bob's work.

|      Both programs should be a great help in your quest for better
| documentation.
