- B-Tree Filer Product Information
- --------------------------------
- B-Tree Filer is a library of powerful database routines for the Turbo
- Pascal programmer. Network support is built into the library from the
- ground up. As a result, applications using B-Tree Filer can run in
- single-user mode, or on Novell, MS-Net, NetBIOS-compatible, and other
- networks without changes to the program's source code.
-
- B-Tree Filer can generate programs that run under MS-DOS or Windows
- 3.x using the DOS and Windows versions of Turbo Pascal.
-
- B-Tree Filer offers powerful B+tree indexing techniques with dynamic
- page caching for ultimate performance. Databases built with B-Tree
- Filer can hold up to two billion records, with up to 100 separate
- indexes stored in a single index file. The library supports both fixed
- and variable length records up to 64K bytes in length, and also
- includes a failsafe mode to guarantee high reliability of transaction
- -oriented databases. Index page buffers can be allocated from normal
- heap memory or, in real mode, from EMS. Databases can be opened in
- read-only modes for network security control or for use with CD-ROMs.
- B-Tree Filer offers flexible locking capabilities for network
- applications.
-
- A number of utility units are supplied with the library: a browse unit
- for full-screen scanning of a database (versions are supplied for DOS,
- DOS with Object Professional, DOS with Turbo Vision, and Windows with
- Borland's ObjectWindows Library); units to purge deleted records,
- regenerate a corrupted index file or to change the size or format of
- each data record; a virtual sort unit to quickly reorder any number of
- data records; and others. Also included are two network-specific units
- for NetBIOS and SHARE compatible networks.
-
- A set of Novell NetWare specific units are provided. These give
- connection related information, shell information, basic message
- passing, TTS, semaphores, print capture and printing directly to print
- queues. There is a unit to provide IPX and SPX communications.
-
- Also part of the B-Tree Filer package are various bonus units,
- including one that supports object-oriented coding of databases.
