[About The Guide]
1.) New Drivers
---------------
You can use now the follow new xBase-Drivers:
- dbfntx (Clipper 5.x)
- dbfcmx (Comix 1.0)
- dbfsix (Six-Driver)
- dbfndx (dBase III Plus)
- dbfmdx (dBase IV)
- dbfcdx (Foxpro)
- [dbpx (Paradox)]
- The new Clipper-Driver (ntx)
-----------------------------
With the new NTX-Driver (Clipper 5.2) you can "For/While"-
Conditions too.
- The Comix-Driver 1.0
---------------------
The new Comix-Driver (for Clipper 5.2) make's very fast Index's,
and create's very small Index-Files (about 10* smaller then NTX).
At the Option->Index-Menu you can try out the other Feauters from
the Comix-Driver.
- The Six-Driver 1.1b
--------------------
The Six-Driver 1.1b (for Clipper 5.2!) supports Foxpro-Files
(*.FPT too) and create's quickly small Index-Files.
If you want to link by yourself the Six-Driver to dBTools, you
may not link the Foxpro-Driver DBFCDX in it too, since the DBCDX-
Driver is actually same Driver as DBFSIX (just with less Feauters).
So in this case the DBFCDX-Driver will be automaticly ready for use
in dBTools.
- The dBaseIV-Driver
--------------------
The only thing that i can say about it is:
This Driver is unfortunately very slow!
- The Paradox-Driver
--------------------
The Paradox-Driver is not standard in dBTools integrated!
But everyone can link it with the deliverted Object-Files in dBTools.
The Paradox-Driver is a delicate Driver. With a wrong Paradox-
File-Structure (for example) it is easy to make a Programm-Crash..
Otherwise i is also no very fast.
< Driver-Choice >:
------------------
1. If you loading (with F2) a new File you have the Choice for:
- Which Driver you want to use for this File
- If you want open the new File shared or Exclusive
- (You can set the File-Filter. Exemple: [*.dbf])
2. At the Utilities ->Configuration-Menu you can choose a Driver
for current your open File.
3. If you start dBTools you can start it with the follow Parameters:
- db /d=[Driver] (Example: "db demo1 /d=dbfcmx")
