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.
