A DOS Display of dBASE Structures
This program is a DOS equivalent of the dBASE 'DISPLAY
STRUCTURE' with a few special wrinkles. If you have a color
monitor, the field types are displayed in different colors -
much like the HDIR directory program. The selection of
the database is a lot easier by allowing the user to select
a file from a scrolling window. This type of entry saves
keystrokes, eliminates typing errors when entering file names,
and automates database validation.
I didn't create this program but modified the source I had
around from Ed Kanka for his 'db3stru2.prg' when I saw the
"More Functions for Clipper Programmers'article in the
'04/87' DataBase Advisor. So I married the two concepts and
got this working program that suits my needs. I hope Ed,
and any other authors of these dbase utilites, can derive
some benefit here, as I have gained from their efforts.
This program is full featured and people using dbase or clipper
can use it "AS-IS" if they can work better from DOS than from
inside dbase. I am NOT asking for money for this program
because no one sends in the money anyway. However I will
sell the Clipper-source code to those people who MUST have
source for the programs/utilities they use.
I am a consultant and make my living writing custom database
programs that have much in common with features of this program.
I would be happy to discuss/bid any of your programming projects --
or listen to any suggestions you might have for this program.
Comments and suggestions are welcome: Earl E. Bockenfeld
