[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 ~ 1.3M). 
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 9,213  lines. 282 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.
