BTV.PAS is a Turbo Pascal 6.0,7.0 object oriented interface to the
Btrieve Record Manager by Novell, Inc. It implements Btrieve file,
error handling and error display objects.

I did not supply the example programs in compiled form. They aren't
flashy, no neat screen output, and you won't get much out of them if
you don't look at the code. I hope they are sufficient to demonstrate
the use of BTV. Let me know if you find the example code inadequate.

The documentation for version 1.50 has not been updated from version
1.0. The changes to the actual objects are minor, so the documentation
is still valid.
I want to concentrate on version 2.0 which will include all the
extended operations and couple other enhancements.

BTV.PAS is distributed as Shareware,

I apologize for any inconvenience but high bank charges, roughly 50%,
