Today I updated the Pantera/Gearhead Database.
The database is stored in Excel format (Pantera_Information.xls, ~ 1,200
kbytes) and is also stored as a compressed Excel file (Pantera_Information.zip
~400 kbytes). The database is passive, as it contains no macros.
To use the database, >>>>>www.members.aol.com/sobill, left click on
Pantera_Information.xls. The database will open in Excel in your browser window.
The database consists of many lines organized as two columns. Column A
contains the topics (Clutch, ZF, Cooling System, Suspension, etc.) in alphabetical
order. Column B contains some information item pertinent to the topic.
The database contains 8,032 lines. 218 lines were added in this update. The
new lines are at the bottom of the database following the item labeled ZZZZZ
NEW ITEMS in column A. These new items will be incorporated into the body
of the database at the next update. I am doing this so the database users
can easily review newly added items. Many of the data items are taken from the
DeTomaso Forum and many others are items of Gearhead interest (I hope) that I
have gathered in my surfing.
A basic way to find data in the database:
1) Left click the mouse on the Edit function on the Excel Toolbar at
the top of the screen.
2) Point to “Find” on the Edit function menu and left click the
mouse.
3) A window will open. In this window type any partial word, word, or
phrase in which you are interested.
4) Select “Find Next” and left click the mouse.
5) The Find function will highlight the next occurrence in the
database of what you entered in 3) above. It will find what you entered even if what
you entered is embedded in a larger word (cam = campy = lunaticamshafts).
The Find function is not case sensitive (Bosch = bosch).
6) Each time you click “Find Next” the Find function will advance to
and highlight the next occurrence.
7) If no match to your entry is found, a window will open to tell you
that no match exists.
Either version of the database may be downloaded by right clicking on the
desired file and using the “Save Target As” function of your browser.
Please send me any suggestions, corrections, or data you would like to have
added.
