 dBTools driver
 ----------------

   You can use the follow xBase-driver:

        - dbfntx (Clipper 5.x)
        - dbfcmx (Comix 1.0)
        - dbfsix (Six-Driver)
        - dbfndx (dBase III Plus)
        - dbfmdx (dBase IV)
        - dbfcdx (Foxpro)
        - [dbpx  (Paradox)]


      - The new clipper-driver (ntx)
       -------------------------------
        With the new NTX-driver (Clipper 5.2) you can "for/while"-
        conditions too.



      - The comix-driver
       -------------------
        The new comix-driver 1.0 (for clipper 5.2!) make's very fast index
        and create's very small index-files (about 10* smaller then NTX).
        At the option->index-menu you can try out the other feauters from
        the comix-driver.


      - The six-driver
       -----------------
        The six-driver 1.1b (for clipper 5.2!) support foxpro-files
        (*.FPT too) and create's quickly small index-files.
        If you want to link by yourself the six-driver to dbTools, you may
        not link the foxpro-driver DBFCDX in it too, since the DBCDX-driver
        is actually same driver as DBFSIX (just with less feauters).
        So in this case the DBFCDX-driver will be automaticly ready for use.


      - The dBaseIV-driver
       ---------------------
        The only thing that i can say about it is:
        The driver is unfortunately very slow!


      - The paradox-driver
       ---------------------
        The paradox-driver is a delicate driver. Whit a wrong Paradox
        File-Structure (for example) it is easy to make a programm-crash.
        Otherwise it is also no very fast.



 Driver-choice
 ---------------

      1. If you load (with F2) a new file, you have the choice for:

          - Which driver you want use for this file
          - If you want open the new file shared - or exclusive-mode
          - (You can set the file-filter. Example: [*.dbf])

      2. At the utilities ->configuration-men. you can choose a driver
         for current your open file.

      3. If you start dBTools you can start with the follow parameter:
           - db.exe /d=[driver]   (Example: "db demo1 /d=dbfcmx")
