tools to handle ALEPH database


     DAF is the ALEPH file type of the BOS direct access files.

      current data base is called:
            DBASE:ADBSCONS.DAF
            ADBSCONS   ==>  /aleph/dbase/adbscons.daf

      next data base on test is called:
            DBASE:ADBSTEST.DAF
            ADBSTEST   ==>  /aleph/dbase/adbstest.daf

      - to extract banks from the data base: dafcar.
      - to check a BOS data card file: chkcrd.
      - to insert new banks,replace or drop banks: cardaf.
