docs/NEW_DB.HOWTO  view on Meta::CPAN

interactive xace tool is this:

	1) create a directory with the database's name
	2) within that directory create a directory named "wspec" (where 
		the schema lives) and another named "database"
	3) populate the wspec subdirectory with the schema files,
		which you can copy from another database, such as
		the C. elegans database
	4) run xace, giving it the database's directory as its
		command-line argument
	5) xace will prompt you to reinitialize the database, say "OK"
	6) using the edit menu, select "read .ace" file.  Say "yes"
	        when prompted for write access
	7) choose "Open ace file" from the dialog box, and locate
		the file you wish to load
	8) select "Read all"
	9) when done, close the window and select "Save..." from the
		main xace window

Read other .ace files in the same way.
