  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")
