Database Utilities

There are a number of database utilities to help you manage the program. Some of these are password protected, in order to protect your system from unauthorized use, among other reasons. Others have been created purely for use by the Mamut Support Centre or authorised retailers.

The utilities can be found under File - Database Utilities.
