- IMPORTANT: This disk contains a version of WORKBASE which creates
- Clipper-compatible index files, with the NTX extension. A version is
- also available which creates dBase-compatible index files with the
- NDX extension.
- --------------------------
- If you want WORKBASE to save its MEM file in a particular subdirectory, you
- simply need to set a DOS environmental variable. For example, if WORKBASE
- resides in a directory named UTIL, the environmental command will look like
- this:
-
- SET WB=UTIL
-
- This command can be entered at the DOS prompt before you run WORKBASE, or
- it can be included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or other batch file. (If you use
- WORKBASE regularly, it's best to simply put the command in AUTOEXEC.BAT so
- you don't have to remember it whenever you turn on your computer.)
-
- Remember to type the command exactly as shown here, in all upper case, with
- no spaces before or after the equal sign and no additional punctuation.
-
- If you do not enter this command, WORKBASE will simply save its MEM file
- harmlessly in the root directory.
