PAGE: D2-3
SOFTWARE VERSIONS: dBASE II, any version
MicroSoft BASIC or PC-DOS BASICA
FUNCTION: This program will change an incorrect record count in a
dBASE II file header. An incorrect record count in a dBASE II

closing the file or QUITing dBASE, (2) Interrupting a PACK, SORT,
APPEND, or COPY operation, or (3) Power supply surges while
processing data.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS: Put this program on the disk with your dBASE
file, or specify the appropriate drive when you are prompted for
the filename. Also, make sure you include the full filename,
including the extension. To run the program, from the DOS prompt
type MBASIC FIXHEAD.TXT or BASICA FIXHEAD.TXT, depending on which
version of BASIC you have.
