.SH DESCRIPTION
This program can read and write german DTAUS files.  DTAUS is an
acronym for 
.BR D aten T räger AUS tausch.
It is used by german credit institutes in order to manage money
exchanges between accounts and credit institutes.

.SH "CONTROL FILE"
The control file has a very simple format.  Empty lines and those
beginning with a hash mark are ignored.  The remainder is splitted
into three parts, one BEGIN record, several regular records and one
END record, which is being ignored and created by the program.

For a complete description please refer to
