I'll bet it is a codelocked rbase command file.

Yeah, if I can't figure out this program, then I want to get more specifics 
about their Real World program (like version, whatever) and what steps they do 
in Real World, if any, to "bring in" the files -- or are they just sitting 
there and automatically looked at.  Things like that...

I also think it's totally possible that they are running this program and it 
isn't doing a darn thing and is not needed!   Since the date of this program is 
from 12 years ago it's not like it's been updated lately!

I would suggest you contact Real World Accounting or a support service and talk 
to them about what the data is that is imported and if there is file format 
layout available, CSV interface, or what ever they use as an import facility.  
I think then you should be able to provide the functionality through one of the 
many export facilities provided by RBase.
Good Luck

She told me that they get to the R> prompt and type:  RUN CHECKBK

She says she has no idea what the program does, they just "do it".  The guy who 
did their system is long gone and unavailable.  They sent me their programs, 
and this program is not a readable file.   If you look at it, it seems to 
indicate a file f:\rwc80\CHKTRX00.EXP .  I asked her to look and sure enough 
there is a file with that name.  Sent it to me and guess what, that one's not 
readable either.

It seems to me like RUN CHECKBK shouldn't do a darn thing.  I have zipped these 
2 programs together in my dropbox.  If anyone is bored, can you figure out if 
these are executable programs?

Thanks a bunch!
