[DeTomaso] Pantera/Gearhead Database Update

[SOBill at aol.com]

The Pantera/Gearhead Database has been  updated. 
The database is stored in Excel format (Pantera  Information.xls ~ 1.2M). 
The database is passive, as it contains no  macros. 
To use the database, go to  >>>>>http://www.panteraplace.com/Page9.htm, 
scroll down to  Technical Resources (“R”) and either open or save the  file. 
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 8,931 lines. 370 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. 
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.
 
Have fun,
