HALCYON is an excellent set of Turbo Pascal routines for management of dBase
files in a network environment. They work in real or protected mode under
all versions of Object Oriented Turbo Pascal, including Turbo Pascal for
Windows. Halcyon allows creation, use and updating of multiple dBase .NDX
or Clipper .NTX index files in accessing the dBase III and IV data (DBF) and
memo (DBT) file entries. The simple user interface makes the 'object' part
of object oriented programming transparent. The programmer simply uses a
set of commands similar to the dBase commands to control the file access.
All source is included, and does all of the above using only Pascal--no
assembly routines are used. The use of Pascal does not mean the routines
are slow. On the contrary, the file updates are FAST, showing what can be
accomplished within the optimized and powerful Turbo and Borland Pascal
compiler. Over 25 demonstration programs are provided to show the power of
the HALCYON routines. This is Shareware from Griffin Solutions.
