dBTools dBASE III+ Enhancement tools
Version 1.22 07/16/90
(c) 1990 BERNATH COMPUTER
ABOUT THE DEMO
Included in the dBTools package is a demonstration program that
illustrates the many features of dBTools. The source code is included,
so it also acts as a tutorial on how to use dBTools.
NOTE: the demo is written for a color adapter, and will look real
wierd on monochrome (if it works at all)!!
To run the demo you will require dBASE III+ or a dBASE compatible
compiler (I've tried dBTools with Foxbase+, FoxPro, dBXL, Quicksilver,
and dBASE IV. It doesn't work with Clipper). The files DBT*.PRG, the
*.DBF and *.NDX files and the .PRT printer definition files should be
in the same subdirectory.
Set up three environment variables:
SET DBPATH=<path where the .PRG and .PRT files can be found>
SET DBTOOLS=<path where the file DBTOOLS.BIN can be found>
SET DBTPRT=<printer definition file name>:
IBMPRO
PAN1091
HPLASER
OKI192
EPSONFX
select the subdirectory where dBASE is found:
CD /DB3 (or wherever)
DBASE <path>\DBTDEMO (path is where DBTDEMO.PRG is found)
For example, let's say you have dBASE in a subdirectory C:\DB3,
and you copy all the necessary dBTools files into a subdirectory
called C:\DBTOOLS. You could execute the demo with the following
batch file:
DBPATH=C:\DBTOOLS
DBTOOLS=C:\DBTOOLS
DBTPRT=EPSONFX
CD\DB3
DBASE C:\DBTOOLS\DBTDEMO
This batch file is included in the dBTools package as GODEMO.BAT.
If you are using subdirectories other than those in the example, you
may modify GODEMO.BAT with a text editor.
To run the demo from a dual floppy system, you must have all the
*.PRG files, the *.IMG files, DBTOOLS.BIN, and at least one of the
*.PRT files on a floppy in your B: drive, and dBASE in your A: drive.
Then execute the batch file FLOPDEMO.
