XBalance.exe 
XBalance is a small Windows utility for users to view their account balances quickly.  
XBalance requires Windows 95/98/Me NT/2000 and can be added to the Startup 
group or to any login script. It will update the balance display if it is left running; 
likewise, it will also display the balance when it is minimized. 
XBalance obtains the balance information through communication with the XCounter 
Data Server. This connection can be configured by creating XCounter.INI in the same 
directory where XBalance.exe is stored. Use the following format: 
[Preferences] 
DataServer=\\Sales 
where \\Sales is the name of the computer running the XCounter Data Server service. 
The double-backslash before the computer name is required. 
Otherwise, the user will be asked to choose from a list of computers. 
XBalance remembers the last server accessed by storing XCounter.INI in the same 
directory where XBalance.exe is stored. If XBalance is kept in a shared directory and 
unauthorized users are not to change the server setting, create XCounter.INI as 
shown above, and allow users only read privileges in that directory. 
XBalance supports and displays the following languages English, French, German, 
Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish, Dutch, Czech, Swedish, Danish and Italian. 
XImport.exe 
The XImport utility is a command line utility for importing and updating the XPopup 
database. When this utility is utilized in conjunction with an external scheduler 
program, the XPopup database can be automatically imported at a predefined time. 
The command syntax of the XImport utility is: 
XIMPORT [T | C | M] IMPORTFILE EXPORTFILE.DBF 
T  
Text file import 
C  
Equitrac client number import 
M=x  
Equitrac matter number import x=client code length 
XImport is a general utility that imports a complete database or updates an existing 
one. If the XPopup database is not deleted during the update process, the XImport 
program will not overwrite existing record data. Instead, it will only update new 
records, maintaining the structure to the existing XPopup database.
