DBSTRUPO.COM
Display dBASE III structure of all DBF files on disk

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS DBSTRUPO?
------------------------------
DBSTRUPO allows you to display the structure of all dBASE III
data bases on a given disk or subdirectory with a single command
invocation. The structure listings may be redirected to the printer
or to a file. Redirecting the output to a file gives you the
flexibility of including the data in your system documentation.
You don't need dBASE III to run this program. In fact, most
people will run this program in DOS. However, you may also execute
the program from within dBASE via the dBASE RUN (or !) command.
COMMAND SYNTAX
--------------
DBSTRUPO [drive\path\ambiguous-filename] [>dosdev]
You may specify drive, path, any wilcard filenames, all of these
or none of these. How's that for taking care of everything you want?
You may redirect the output to "dosdev" which is any valid DOS
device, for example, PRN, or a any file you name.
EXAMPLES
--------
1. Example 1
DBSTRUPO C:\DB\*.* >A:MYDOC.TXT
DBSTRUPO C:\DB\*.DBF >A:MYDOC.TXT
DBSTRUPO C:\DB\ >A:MYDOC.TXT
DBSTRUPO C:\DB >A:MYDOC.TXT
All the above examples will display the structure of all dBASE
III DBF files on the C:\DB subdirectory and display the results to the
screen and record them also to the file A:MYDOC.TXT. If A:MYDOC.TXT
already exists, it will be overwritten.
2. Example 2
DBSTRUPO
will display the structure of all dBASE III DBF files on the
current directory to the screen only.
3. Example 3
DBSTRUPO T*.* >PRN
DBSTRUPO T*.DBF >PRN
Both will display the structure of all dBASE III DBF files whose
filenames begin with "T" on the default directory to both the screen
and printer.
4. Example 4
DBSTRUPO B:
(This is your quiz. If you've been paying attention, you should know
what this command does).
AND NOW A WORD FROM YOUR SPONSOR
--------------------------------
DBSTRUPO is copyrighted by me, but I am hereby releasing it to
the public domain for all NON-COMMERCIAL uses, provided: (oh, oh,
here's the hitch)
1. Both DBSTRUPO.COM and DBSTRUPO.DOC (this file) are distributed
together.
2. Neither file is altered in any way. If you want to alter files,
write your own.
3. You don't charge anything for distributing this program. I am
giving this to you for free, so you do the same.
All monetary contributions for this program are graciously
declined. If you really like me that much, buy my other programs such
as MEMOPO (dBASE Memo Field Utility for the Civilized) or send your
donation to my "Shareware" program FCPO1 (Electronic Filing Cabinet),
or send something new and useful (public domain only) to my BBS. If
you can't do any of the above, just be nice to your folks.
Peace be with you, Brother.
