Bsupport went commercial in December 1988.
Bsupport now refers to a family of products which are marketed commercially
and described below.
The Bsupport 1.45 program has been enhanced and renamed Bedit.
Our goal is to provide useful tools to developer's using Novell's
Btrieve record manager.

the Btrieve record manager.
It displays: file name

Brun 1.0
Brun is essentially a replacement for the Btrieve BUTIL
program. It performs most of the same functions in small separate
programs. In addition, the license agreement allows you to
distribute any or all of the Brun utilities (in object form) with
your applications. The source code, which is written in Microsoft
C, is also included.
