- You are about to try BTRV Express, a library for Microsoft C
- users that greatly simplifies access to Btrieve. No more position
- blocks! No more passing parameters just to fill the call! BTRV
- Express routines all work from the file name and a record pointer.
- Only those parameters needed for the call are passed.
-
- Try out the library. You have the full documentation. This OBJ file
- must be linked with MSCXBTRV (provided with Btrieve) to interface
- correctly. It is for use with SMALL model programs. This demo
- version will manage up to two open Btrieve files. The full version
- comes ready to manage 10 files but can be easily modified to manage up
- to 255.
-
- Registration for BTRV Express Costs $75. For this price, you get
- fully commented source code, a Norton Guides Database (without the
- engine) listing all BTRV Express functions, and a menu-driven utility
- to create Btrieve files without using scripts.
-
- There is a version of BTRV Express for Borland's Turbo C version 1.5
- and up. Please specify your compiler when ordering (Microsoft V5.0 or
- Borland Turbo C 1.5). Other compilers may be supported but since I
- don't own them, I can't test them.

- Using the sample programs:
-
- The four sample programs will create a Btrieve file, load it with a
- list of states and their telephone area codes and then search for data
- or print lists.
-
- ACREATE: creates the Btrieve file and loads the data from AREACODE.TXT
- AFIND : prompts the user for an area code and returns the state
- ASTATE : prompts for a state and returns all area codes in the state
- AREPORT: lists states and area codes in numeric order and state order
-
-
- To use:
