Do you need access to dBASE files
from your custom DOS, Windows, and OS/2 Applications?
===============================================================================
ANNOUNCING dbfLIB !!!
by dSOFT Development Inc.
Accessing dBASE files is a task that thousands of developers are faced with
each and every day. dBASE files have become a universal standard for storing
and retrieving database information. Unfortunately, there hasn't been an easy
way to support dBASE files across multiple operating systems, until now!
dbfLIB provides a meaningful set of application programming interfaces (APIs)
for accessing dBASE files. Whether you are a dBASE programmer who is moving
forward with C programming in the Windows and OS/2 environments, or a seasoned
GUI developer looking for database management routines, you will find that
programming in C with dbfLIB will make your job easier.
A SAMPLING of the dbfLIB API:
DbfUse DbfGo
DbfSkip DbfSeek
DbfBottom DbfTop
DbfLocate DbfOpen
DbfCreateExtended DbfCreate
FldCopy FldName
FldRef FldType
FldReplace FldValue
MemoWrite MemoRead
NdxCreate NdxOpen
NdxReindex NdxClose
and many, many more...
The problem...
As a developer in the corporate environment you are often faced with meeting
the needs of a wide variety of end users. While some are happy to stay with
text based DOS applications, others are riding the wave towards the graphical
user interface offered by Microsoft Windows. Still other users want to take
advantage of OS/2's preemptive multitasking. It's enough to drive MIS
developers and support personnel crazy. To make matters worse the data needs
to be shared among all of these users without disrupting those who are currently
using dBASE applications.
The solution...
dbfLIB Programmer's Library.
dbfLIB provides a consistent set of APIs across DOS, Windows, and OS/2
platforms. This allows you to develop new DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications
that can share dBASE files with dBASE programs currently in use, as well as
other programs that use dBASE files. This can all be done without migrating
megabytes of dBASE files to another database environment.
