To create and open a database:

1. Open Thunder Browse.

2. In the File menu, click Advanced, then Create New Database.

3. Select Lightning as the Database Type.

Note

Thunder and Lightning databases are different. Thunder (and
Thunder Browse) can access both Thunder and Lightning
databases. Lightning can access only Lightning databases. If
you are creating a database on your Deko system, we
recommend that you select Lightning as the Database Type.
This way, any Lightning or Thunder machine can open your
database.

4. Enter a Database Name

5. Enter a Database Path, unique to the new database, that contains

the full path name of the directory where the new database will
reside.

6. Choose the Standard. 525 (NTSC) is the default setting, or choose

625 for PAL.

7. Thunder automatically enters other field values for you. Click

Create.

8. From the File menu of Thunder Browse, choose Open, navigate to

the new database (.pff) file, then click Open.

To set a default database:

1. Open the database, as described above, so that it shows up in your

Thunder Browse Tree. You can select any database as the default
database. It can be a database on your hard drive, or anywhere on
the network.

2. In the Thunder Browse Tree, navigate to the database, then right-

click the database name.
