NAMECHOP is a Windows application that processes dBase (.DBF) databases or delimited textfiles or fixed-field (undelimited) text files, using a convenient drag-and-drop interface. NAMECHOP is useful for parsing names before using a duplicate detector, so that last names can be easily extracted and compared.
