from a command line interface. The format for the command is:
import_pcm.exe filename.ext ,
where filename.ext is the name of a PCM formatted file. The import utility, import_pcm.exe , has no restric-
tions on the filename and extension. When using the import utility, the importer must have foreknowledge
that the file targeted for import is an authentic PCM formatted file.

a command line interface. The format for the command is:
import_pcm.exe filename.ext ,
where filename.ext is a file created during the export of a PCM database. The import utility, import_pcm.
