B-Tree Filer Product Information
--------------------------------
B-Tree Filer is a library of powerful database routines for the Turbo
Pascal programmer. Network support is built into the library from the
ground up. As a result, applications using B-Tree Filer can run in
single-user mode, or on Novell, MS-Net, NetBIOS-compatible, and other
networks without changes to the program's source code.
B-Tree Filer can generate programs that run under MS-DOS or Windows
3.x using the DOS and Windows versions of Turbo Pascal.
B-Tree Filer offers powerful B+tree indexing techniques with dynamic
page caching for ultimate performance. Databases built with B-Tree
Filer can hold up to two billion records, with up to 100 separate
indexes stored in a single index file. The library supports both fixed
and variable length records up to 64K bytes in length, and also
includes a failsafe mode to guarantee high reliability of
transaction-oriented databases. Index page buffers can be allocated
from normal heap memory or from EMS. Databases can be opened in
read-only modes for network security control or for use with CD-ROMs.
The network version of B-Tree Filer offers flexible locking
capabilities.
A number of utility units are supplied with the library: a browse unit
for full-screen scanning of a database (versions are supplied for DOS,
DOS with Object Professional, DOS with Turbo Vision, and Windows with
Borland's ObjectWindows Library); a rebuild unit to purge deleted
records or regenerate a corrupted index file; a reorg unit to change
the size or format of each data record; a virtual sort unit to quickly
reorder any number of data records; and others. Also included in the
network version are three network-specific units for message passing,
printer control, and file management on Novell, NetBIOS, and SHARE
compatible networks.
Note that the network version of B-Tree Filer can generate single user
applications as well as network-compatible ones. Source code written
using the single-user version can include calls to network locking
functions, but these functions do nothing in the single-user version.
In this way, you can use the single-user version to write applications
that run on a network just by recompiling with the network version of
the library.
Also included are bonus units that support object-oriented coding of
databases under Turbo Pascal 5.5 or later.
