- db/Envision Internet Database Publisher v1.0

-
- What is it I've downloaded?
- --------------------------
-
- db/Envision is a windows program that allows you to convert almost any
- database into an HTML web page by layout out how you want one record to
- appear. Pages can be generated in HTML table format, paragraph format
- or preformatted text. You can control which fields are output and how
- they display. Fields can be text, database fields, hyperlinks, links to
- graphics or even complex combinations of fields. You can link multiple
- tables together to make even more complex web pages.
-
- Supported Databases
- -------------------
-
- xBase: Clipper, Foxpro, dBase III, dBase IV
- ODBC: Access 1.0/2.0, Btrieve, CA-Datacom, CA-IDMS, CA-Ingres, DB2/2,
- Excel, Informix, Netware SQL, ORACLE, Paradox, SQL Server,
- SQLBase, Sybase System 10, and Watcom SQL
-
- We have not been able to test db/Envision with every one of these
- drivers, but db/Envision uses only standard ODBC commands so there
- _should_ not be any problems. Of course, if you do have problems,
- please let us know. We would like to make sure it works with every ODBC
- database we come across.
-
- Also, you must have ODBC setup on your computer to use the ODBC support.
- If you do not have it setup already, you can copy ODBC*.* from the
- db/Envision directory to your windows system directory. Although, if
- you do not have ODBC installed, it is unlikely that you have any
- databases accessable through ODBC.
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- To install the db/Envision software, you simple have to unzip the
- dbenvisn.zip file into it's own directory. There is no setup program
- (to reduce the size of the file). All the files needed to run will be
- put one one directory. No files are copied to the windows or windows
- system directory. You must, however, unzip the file with the -d command
- to preserve the directory structure. Here is an example that creates a
- new DBENVISN directory and unzips the files from the temp directory.
-
- C:\> md dbenvisn
- C:\> cd dbenvisn
- C:\DBENVISN> pkunzip c:\temp\dbenvisn.zip -d
-
- You may need to copy the CTL3DV2.DLL into the windows\system directory
- if it is not there already. You will be given a message about missing
- CTL3DV2 is it is not in your windows\system directory.
-
- You may also need to copy TOOLHELP.DLL into the windows\system directory
- as well. Depending on your version of windows copy the file from either
- the WIN95 or WIN3 directory into your \windows\system directory.
-
-
- Removing db/Envision from your hard drive
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Just remove the directory. You can use deltree from the DOS prompt, or
- use file manager and just press the delete key.
