Hi, Wayne - this would move various columns to other places, easy to use
(so they stopped sending it out).. example, place anything from column
12 to column 15 into column 32 to 35, then move ... 

Was quite handy. May have worked with various database formats too, but
I only moved stuff around to get the data into the right place before
doing an import into Paradox with it.  Was handy. Paradox itself was
fairly good, I used it for many years (along with dBase etc etc ..)
