Title: Mac Extension Mapping for WOS Data Systems' Detente Reports

Q:  A product from WOS Data Systems, called Detente Reports, is a Mac
product that allows users to create custom reports by directly
reading dBase III files via the Mac.  It also permits users to
scan through indexes of dBase files.  How would the MACFS checker
table be configured to make this work?  It works as a desk accessory
fine, but as a normal application, it has trouble finding the dbase files.
The program uses the identifier of DTNT for the creator; we want it to
recognize NDX & DBF extension files and treat them as TEXT.  Is this possible:?

A:  Run 3Install in the c:\3plus\3config directory on server, and
create the following entries in the extension mapping table.

        DOS extension    Creator    Type
             DBF           DTNT     TEXT
             NDX           DTNT     TEXT

If Detente Reports creates files with creator/types of DTNT/TEXT with
names that are not legal DOS names, then the DOS extension for the DOS
name for the file will be the DOS extension in the table (DBF or NDX)
that has the lower index number into the table.
