===== File Types =====

The TSM directory contains files with the following extensions:

^**DBF**^
The main TSM data file. There is one for each table in TSM (e.g. servcard.dbf for job card records).

^**FPT**^
Linked to the DBF file of the same name. Contains the memo file (free text) data for each record. **Note**: Any DBF or FPT file starting with Z is a temporary file and can be deleted if not in use.

^**CDX**^
The index file for each table. Indexes are used to sort and access records, and can become corrupt over time. Use the reindex option to delete and recreate these files.

^**FT* **^
These hold the data required for Fast text search of TSM records. Reindexing with the Fast Text Search option enabled will delete and recreate these files.

^**FRT, FRX**^
Each TSM report consists of a FRT and FRX file. Reports with a number before the extension are customised reports (e.g. SERVN1.FRT), while those without are original TSM reports. **LBX** and **LBT** are label equivalents of these files.

^**ZIP**^
Backups created by TSM are compressed into a zip format file. Automatic backups are called checkstru*.zip and are done whenever updating or reindexing TSM.

^**EXE**^
TSM Program files. TSM.exe is main program file, and must not be in use when upgrading TSM.

^**DLL**^
TSM program component files. These files must be registered successfully (by pressing Alt+F8 in TSM) for TSM to function. The TSM.dll file is used by the Accounting Post, Self Service, TSM Live, and TSM Remote.

^**OCX**^
Like DLLs these are TSM program component files and must be registered successfully for TSM to function.

^**FLL, APP**^
These are Foxpro addons used by TSM to add functionality.

^**Misc**^
The unins000.DAT file is used to store uninstall information for the uninstaller.
