Usage: [d:][path]trx2dbf [d:][path]filename
TRX2DBF converts an Album Trax data file to an EXISTING dBASE III
DBF file. No indexes are copied. "filename" is the name of the
Album Trax data file to convert. TRX2DBF assumes that the dBASE
file has the same name as the Album Trax datafile but with a ".dbf"
extension. The ".dbf" file MUST ALREADY EXIST and the converted
Album Trax records are APPENDED. You can use dBASE (or a similar
program) to create the dBASE file.
Please note that due to the 128 field limit of dBASE, not all fields
can be converted (Album Trax utilizes over 150 fields), therefore
you must decide what information to convert (for example, SAMPLE.DBF
that is included with this program omits individual song times).
If your data does not include songs #25 to #48, you may want to omit
"SONG_26" to "SONG_48" and include the fields "MINUTES_1" to
"MINUTES_24" and "SECONDS_1" to "SECONDS_24".
The Album Trax field names are located at the start of the Album
Trax data file. You can view these names by issuing the DOS type
command on an empty data file (i.e. TYPE ALBUMTRX.TRX) Please note
that spaces must be entered as underscores in dBASE (i.e. "SONG 1"
is entered in dBASE as "SONG_1"). Only fields whose names match
exactly (except for upper/lower case) are copied. The order of
the fields may be different in the two files.
