DBFEDIT.prg is written for CLIPPER. It will allow a user to add/change/
browse or delete records in an existing data base file, even an empty one.
Start at DOS by entering DBFEDIT <filename> or just DBFEDIT.
For the sake of simplicity, I left out a lot. Only 1 User Defined Function
besides the one needed by DBEDIT(). There is no display of record number or
record count. No use of an index file(s). No commands for a color monitor.
No code to create a database file. No error routines.
In my learning process, I refer to the excellent book by Que Publications,
USING CLIPPER. I refered to Dennis Dias' source code in DBUEDIT.prg that
comes with CLIPPER. Lastly, I refer to the CLIPPER manual.
Besides those two references, I want to thank my employer, Wyatt Cafeterias,
Inc. in Dallas, TX for letting me program for them in my spare time as a
mainframe operator. And I want to thank my wife, (sweet creature that she is),
my kids, my great, great...well, anyway.
Let me know if you find this source useful. Use it anyway you like, but send
me a million dollars.
