  2. **        file:        d_putfld.c
  3. **        purpose:    routine to fill a field with data from buffer.
  4. **        ussage:    d = (struct DBF *)malloc(sizeof(struct DBF));
  5. **                    strcpy(d->filename,"filename.dbf");
  6. **                    d_open(d);
  7. **                    d_getrec(d,(long)recordno);
  8. **                    d_getfld(d,fieldno,buffer);
  9. **                    ... modify field data ...
  10. **                    d_putfld(d,fieldno,buffer);
  11. **                    d_putrec(d,(long)recordno);
  12. **                    d_close(d);
  13. **                    free(d);
  14. **        notes:    compile with "tcc -c d_putfld".    include this file in dbf.li
  15. **                    see dbf.h for structure of DBF.    this routine places the data into
  16. **                    a record in memory.    d_addrec or d_putrec must be called to write
  17. **                    the data to the file on disk.
  18. **        returns:    length of the field if successful. 0 if not.
