GS_DBASE Version 2.9 GRIFFIN SOLUTIONS dBase III, III+ access 6 April 1993 (C) Copyright 1991-1993 - All Rights reserved Griffin Solutions 102 Molded Stone Place Warner Robins, Georgia 31088 (912) 953-2680 CompuServe 75206.231 --------------------------------------------------------------- These Turbo Pascal routines handle processing for dBase III+ files, including memo (.DBT), index (.NDX), and data (.DBF) files. Use is made of object oriented programming to simplify the user interface. Examples of the user interface is demonstrated in the sample programs. This release is valid for reading and writing of data, index, and memo files. Routines will compile under either TP 5.5 or TP 6. Expanded routines (i.e., window routines) are incompatible with TurboVision. However, the dBase file access routines will work in a TurboVision environment. -------------------------------------- dBase is a trademark of Ashton-Tate Turbo Pascal is a trademark of Borland Shareware --------- GS_dBase is copyrighted. It is not a public domain program. It is being distributed as Shareware, which means that unmodified copies of the software and documentation may be freely copied and shared. I ask in return that should you find GS_dBase to be useful, you become a registered user. You become registered by sending $25.00 to the address on the cover. By registering you will get: o A copy of the latest version of the program. o Automatic notification of major program updates. o Technical support via Compuserve or by mail. o A user's manual on disk. Sorry--printed manuals are too expensive at this price. The shareware philosophy is to pay smaller amounts for well-crafted and useful software from developers who cannot spend the millions of dollars on marketing necessary to compete with the large software development companies. You benefit by being able to try a wider variety of software products to find the ones that suit your particular purpose. And the trial is free. The shareware developer benefits from being able to distribute his work to a wider audience than would be possible through normal channels. Your share of the responsibility for shareware to continue, and to support the development of more and better products is to distribute your shareware programs to others and become a registered user of those products you like and use. FEATURES -------- Welcome to GS_dBASE, a series of Turbo Pascal routines for management of dBase III+ files. The routines are designed to do the following: - Provide a simple user interface to read and write dBase III files. - Allow creation, use and updating of multiple dBase .NDX index files in reading and updating the dBase III data (DBF) files. - Allow creation, use and updating of multiple Clipper .NTX index files in reading and updating the dBase III data (DBF) files. - Allow reading and updating of .DBT memo file entries. - Allow creation of new dBase III files. - Provide expanded routines to display, edit, and update dBase III files. - Provide a file handler interface that provides a simple disk management capability and provision for LAN adaptability. - Do all of the above using only Turbo Pascal--no assembly routines are used. - Apply Object Oriented Programming to create easily usable modules.

It is recommended that backup copies be made. You will likely want to reload the database files as you 'play' with and change them while running the demonstrations. DEMONSTRATION ------------- To get the feeling of the speed and features of GS_dBase, let's run a demonstration program using GSDBLOOK.PAS. 1. Compile and run GSDBLOOK.PAS to get a feel for the ease with which a program can be designed that allows selection, editing, and deletion of dBase records. 2. Execute GSDBLOOK without any other parameters. A. You will be presented with a selection of all .DBF files in the current subdirectory. Make sure LOOKFILE.DBF is highlighted and press return. B. Next will be displayed a list of all index files in the subdirectory, if there are any .NDX files. If any are displayed, just press Escape. C. A menu consisting of options to Edit, Append, Select, Print, Pack, and Exit will appear. The Select option is the only one that is not immediately obvious. Use the cursor keys to highlight the Select option and press return. D. You will be presented with a list of field names included in the database. Highlight 'LASTNAME' and press return. E. You will then be asked to provide select criteria. For example, To get a selection of all last names that start with 'G', you can press 'G' and return. For all starting with 'GR', press 'g', 'r' and return. To get an alphabetical list of all records press enter with the select field empty. F. Highlight the name you wish to see. Use the home, end, and cursor up and down arrows to select. The record will be displayed for editing. As an alternative, you may append a new record by selecting 'Append' at the end of the list. G. Once the record is selected, any field may be updated. To access a memo field, use the cursor keys to highlight the field. When the field is highlighted, it will change from '-- memo --' to ' Edit? '. Press 'y' to call up the memo field in the editor. H. When editing is complete, press F10 to exit. Pressing [Esc] will exit the editor without saving the changes. I. You may then select another record. Press [ESC] when done. 3. This program offers a choice of selecting, editing, appending, printing, or packing records. The printing routine allows you to select the fields you wish to list. When all desired fields have been picked, press Escape. You will then be asked if you want to print the listing. CHANGES ------- Major changes in GS_dBase Version 2.8: -------------------------------------- - Multiple indexes (up to 16) are allowed. - Clipper indexes (.NTX) are allowed to replace .NDX files by changing one Uses statement in GS_DBASE.PAS. - A File_TOF flag is added to test when access to a Prev_Record record is made while at the top of the file. - Required memory is reduced by 10K by eliminating the need for the numeric coprocessor emulation to handle numeric key expressions for .NDX files. - Disk cache routines are eliminated in GS_FileH. Processing speed is maintained by adding a node 'stack' in index processing to handle the most frequently used index nodes. - A 'Zap' procedure is now included. - More demonstration programs are provided to show the basic, expanded, and utility features available. Major changes in GS_dBase Version 2.5: -------------------------------------- - Dates are now handled as longint values using their Julian Date. This simplifies date calculations. See GS_Date unit for details. - A windows interface is added to facilitate use of other window handling packages to replace GS_Wind. GS_Wind is renamed GS_Windw. See GS_Winfc unit for details. - Additional string handling functions have been added. See GS_Strng unit for details. - A StatusUpdate routine is available to allow the programmer to capture the progress of long-running routines such as Pack and IndexTo. ORDER/REGISTRATION FORM Quan.
