A. Schema Editor is
1. kind like translation tool for image for example you have
 Double Integer in Image with COBOL format pic 9(7)v99 comp.
Image store 12.34 to 1234 and you directly link ODBC/32 to IMAGE
MS Access and Excel shows 1234 instead of 12.34
Schema Editor convert 1234 to 12.34

2. It reads flat file MPE or SD format (IMAGE save, old HP list0
and COGNOS quiz subfiles in HP3000 to client PC directly via
TCP/IP connection.
Avoiding up and download process between HP3000 and Windows
95,98, NT.

A. Any Office 97 product with MS query, I tried Excel with external data

A. I rather create IMAGE source schema from any text editor and upload to
HP3000
and run DBSCHEMA

A. Ok, Schema editor or ODBC/32 will translate IMAGE to ODBC compatable
Data source to PC via TCP/IP link, I just use Access97 v.8 to link ODBC
