Beta copies of the SNIFIT utilities account are now available. SNIFIT, a long-awaited utility set will map Accounts, data files, program files, and Proc files. SNIFIT utilities include:

- Conflict mapping to analyze conflicts between cataloged programs and programs residing in other program files in an account. This utility can save hundreds of hours of research and help to eliminate those mysterious errors.
- Referential integrity report, analyzing coordinated multi-value sets to determine if different counts exist within the set, and report each record found to have anomalies. Numerous run-time options exist to auto-map based on controlling and dependent attributes designated within data dictionaries, or by individually specified attributes (name or number)
- Future enhancements – Mapping each CALL or EXECUTE within a program, mapping the files opened and written to. Variable mapping, system operators used, attributes in records changed, as well as use of $INCLUDE and $OPTION .

Many new features and examples have been added to the Nucleus demonstration account. There is now a new calendar object with a column showing week number. A more extensive order entry program now using separate header and detail lines has been added. Full source code for all applications in the demo account is included.
