IMPORTANT: This disk contains a version of WORKBASE which creates
Clipper-compatible index files, with the NTX extension. A version is
also available which creates dBase-compatible index files with the
NDX extension. When you register, please be sure to specify NTX or
NDX as your choice.
--------------------------
If you want WORKBASE to save its MEM file in a particular subdirectory, you
simply need to set a DOS environmental variable. For example, if WORKBASE
resides in a directory named UTIL, the environmental command will look like
this:
SET WB=UTIL
This command can be entered at the DOS prompt before you run WORKBASE, or
it can be included in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or other batch file. (If you use
WORKBASE regularly, it's best to simply put the command in AUTOEXEC.BAT so
you don't have to remember it whenever you turn on your computer.)
Remember to type the command exactly as shown here, in all upper case, with
no spaces before or after the equal sign and no additional punctuation.
If you do not enter this command, WORKBASE will simply save its MEM file
harmlessly in the root directory.
