APPENDIX G - USING NAT4WIN.EXE
NAT4WIN.EXE is a program developed by John Hansen and written by Nigel Dutton.
It is used in conjunction with the NATIONAL.TXT, NATIONAL.CLB and ALTERNAT.TXT
files and is intended to serve as a utility program for masterpoint secretaries
and other persons wishing to create masterpoint files.
Note that many functions in this program have been superseded by the latest
web site. Its main purpose now is for creating award files and checking award
files created by external programs.
This program is available on the Downloads page of the web site.
