New for Version 1.2/1.3:
The Amisys Btrieve Utility now uses COMMDLG.DLL for the Select File and
Print Dialog windows. This the Windows 3.1 final beta release of
common dialog windows. This DLL CAN be used with Windows 3.0!
Release 1.2 includes the ability to print file/key statistics and
record/page size estimates!
Release 1.3 includes the ability to set all Btrieve startup parameters.
Running the Amisys Btrieve Utility for Windows (DB):
The Amisys Btrieve Utility was written for users or programmers of Novell
Btrieve databases yearning for a friendly Windows interface to investigate
and debug Btrieve files. This utility will work with ANY Btrieve file
regardless of whether the file was written for DOS, networks or Windows.
DB must be run from Windows v3.0 in 386 Enhanced Mode. This restriction is
due to the Novell Btrieve for Windows DLL included. DB files can be copied
into any subdirectory, but Windows must be able to find the WBTRCALL.DLL and
COMMDLG.DLL. COMMDLG.DLL is the Windows 3.1 beta release 2 version of
common dialog windows. The Amisys Btrieve Utility uses this for the Select
File and Print Dialog windows. This DLL CAN be used with Windows 3.0!
A few sample Btrieve databases are included.
For installation just PKUNZIP the files. Next, select NEW from the
Windows Program Manager File menu and choose Program Item. Enter a
description such as "Amisys Btrieve Utility" and something such as
"D:\DB\DB.EXE" for the command line, indicating where Windows can find
DB.EXE. Windows should find WBTRCALL.DLL if you start this way.
You can purchase the source code for the Amisys Btrieve Utility. It was
written in Turbo Pascal for Windows. Refer to the REGISTER.DOC file or
call us.
Enjoy.
P.S. Feel free to distribute the Amisys Btrieve Utility to all of your
friends. All we ask is that if you like it, please pay for it. The Amisys
Btrieve Utility is Shareware, not Public Domain!
Planned enhancements include saving parameters to an INI file, upgrading
the database scrolling, providing the ability to edit the database records
in hex and ascii, allowing you to delete records, and providing a print
capability where needed.
We also hope to handle Paradox databases in the near future. If you have
suggestions for enhancements please feel free to let us know.
