The eFileManager is a small utility program that allows users to quickly read and view an ASC/X12 or UN/EDIFACT EDI document  in a more comprehensive format by presenting the EDI files as parsed identifiable units (e.g. loops, data segments, data elements etc), and displaying them in a hierarchy tree with their descriptions and values.  The eFileManager also has other purposes like editing EDI files; converting EDI files into free-form XML; and also sending EDI files over the Internet. The eFilemanager also analyzes EDI files in accordance with the Standard Exchange Format (SEF) that was loaded, and displays any discrepancies it finds.  It uses the Framework EDI (FREDI) component for its internal operations.
