This is the README file for the examples distribution of EDB, a database
program for GNU Emacs written by Michael Ernst <mernst@theory.lcs.mit.edu>.
EDB is available via anonymous ftp from theory.lcs.mit.edu:/pub/emacs/edb/.
The examples distribution is in theory.lcs.mit.edu:/pub/emacs/edb/examples.
The following files are available; see the documentation for file naming
conventions.

arb-demo-regexp.dba specified by a set of regular expressions.

/etc/passwd and specify this file as the format file.

tepdb.dba labels, and usage instructions.
