Introdution
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is 'BBASE2VIEW' ?
'BBASE2VIEW' is a DataViewer with Printoption, especially written for
Databases created with the DB-Prog. `BBase2 VERSION 5.32`.
BBASE2VIEW V1.00 REQUIRES AMIGA-OS2.0 + ASL.LIBRARY
Why `BBASE2VIEW` ? -> The Author......
Well, I was very confused by using the original `BBase2` to view some
Databases. A fast scanning through the Bases was not possible (68000CPU).
The loading and processing of large Databases always tooks some Time. Also
the limit of 600 Records or 50KB Databases disturbed me.
So I determined to write a faster Base-Viewer for `BBase2`.
The Result.....
As `BBase2View` was completly in assembler written, a fast scanning through
large Bases, the loading and processing Time are very optimized. The limit
of Database-Intems is only a Question of available Memory.
(To scann fast through the Base, use the Cursor-Keys)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distribution-Info
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is allowed to distribute `BBase2View` in anyway (Disks/BBS`s...), when no
change is made to the original Files.
The following files MUST BE included on the Distribution-Disk.

Getting started
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can start 'BBASE2VIEW' by double-clicking on its Workbench-Icon or from
CLI with its Filename. If you`re using `Run BBASE2VIEW_V1.00`, you are able

will be explained now.

The Cursor-Key Functions.......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To move through the current Database, you also can use the Cursor-Keys. The
Functions are as follows.......
CURSOR UP -> GO TO FIRST RECORD
CURSOR DOWN -> GO TO LAST RECORD
CURSOR LEFT -> 1 RECORD BACKWARDS
CURSOR RIGHT -> 1 RECORD FORWARD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other things...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Version of `BBase2View` is especially written to use DataBases, created
with `BBase2` VERSION 5.32. If a new Version of `BBase2` is released and
the DatabaseStruktur has changed, YOU CAN`T USE BASES CREATED WITH THE NEW
VERSION OF BBASE2 IN BBASE2VIEW V1.00. Just try it out. Anyway, until a new
Version of BBase2 is released, a new Version of `BBase2View` isn`t far.
