To optimize speed, you can convert the Win32api.txt file, or any large text file containing the information you want, into a Microsoft® Access database file. Converting the text files to database files has numerous advantages primarily because it is much faster to display the list when opening a database than when opening a text file.
If the file you are loading is very large, WinAPI Viewer may automatically prompt you to convert the file to a database to optimize speed. To do so, follow the directions in the message box that appears. You can choose to convert any text file you are loading, however.
