- DataWorks: xBase file Manager for Windows
- -----------------------------------------
- Clipper .ntx version
- May 1992 Version 1.29
-
-
- The following xBase function has been added to 1.29:
- TRIM(Char_Value) trims spaces on the right of the char expr
-
- Help file has been updated and recompiled.
-
- Shareware
- ---------
- DataWorks is SHAREWARE. After a thirty day evaluation period, if you
- continue to use DataWorks, you are required to register the product
- and include a license fee of $49.95 U.S. by check, money order, Visa
- or Mastercard. A registration form may be found at the end of this
- document.
-
- DataWorks is designed as an xBase power user's tool to be used by
- developers building applications with VXBASE for Visual Basic.
- VXBASE may be found on the bulletin board that carries DataWorks.
- It is uploaded as two files. The latest release is composed of
- files vxbdoc.zip (documentation) and vxbase.zip (vxbase.dll).
-
- DataWorks documentation is contained entirely in an extensive
- Windows Help file accessible from the main DataWorks menu.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- (1) Unzip dworks.zip with pkunzip
- PKUNZIP DWORKS
-
- (2) Three more zip files appear
-
- DWMASTER.ZIP an empty DataWorks data dictionary set
- to be loaded and unzipped into any
- directory that contains or will contain
- xBase files. Retain this file to set up
- new xBase locations that are accessible
- through DataWorks.
-
- VXBTEST.ZIP If you currently have vxBase, move this
- file to \VB\VXBTEST and unzip it. It
- contains DataWorks dictionary definitions
- for the sample database that comes with
- VXBASE.
-
- DWINDOWS.ZIP contains dwx.exe, dwxdll.dll, dw.ini,
- and dwhelp.hlp. Move this file to your
- \WINDOWS directory and unzip. These are
- the actual program and supplementary files.
-
-
- (2) New Users
- ---------
- copy DWMASTER to any directory on your hard drive that
- contains Clipper databases (or to a new directory
- if you want to create new databases).
-
- Every directory that you wish to access with DataWorks
- MUST HAVE ITS OWN COPY of the master dictionary files.
-
- vxBase Users
- ------------
- If you wish to experiment with DataWorks, and have a copy
- of vxBase, move the VXBTEST.ZIP file to \VB\VXBTEST and
- unzip (don't copy DWMASTER there).
-
-
- Existing Users NOTE:
- --------------------
- If you are upgrading an existing copy of DataWorks,
- DO NOT UNZIP DWMASTER over top of your current dictionary
- files. You will lose all current dictionary information.
-
-
- Running DataWorks
- -----------------
-
- (1) Bring up Windows and add DWX.EXE to a program group
- (or run it with the RUN command). The password is
- MASTER. Enter a startup directory where you have
- placed a copy of the DataWorks dictionary files (i.e.,
- unzipped DWMASTER). If you are running the sample
- vxBase data set, enter \vb\vxbtest as the directory.
-
- You can alter the initial size of the files directory
- screen. When you exit, the size you set will be saved.
-
- (2) If there are existing database files in the directory
- you specified, you can add them to the DataWorks
- dictionary with the File Import Dbf menu command.
