This utility will allow you to edit the OLT database and make any
corrections or changes that you wish. You may not add any questions as
the door will only recognize 1750. You may, however; replace any and
all individual questions. The MASTER.TXT must follow the format listed
below.
Each question must contain 7 lines.
QuesPart1 AS STRING * 36 <-First part of question (MAX 36 characters)

SEXDB.EXE will first count the total number of lines in the MASTER.TXT
to make sure there is the correct number of lines. If not, it will
abort and inform you that you do not have the correct number. Once it
detects the correct number of lines, it will compile them into the OLT
database.
You must use an ASCii editor to edit the MASTER.DAT. Qedit will do the
job nicely. As always,
MAKE A BACKUP!
