TPDB is a toolbox of Turbo Pascal 5.0 units which
allow you to access, index, search, read and write
database files that were created with dBASE III or
III Plus, using 75 Turbo Pascal procedures and
functions written specifically for these purposes. At
present, it supports only a single .DBF and an
associated index (it's own brand ofindexes, NOT
indexes created by dBASE). You can, however,
successively open any number of .DBF and .NDX files.
Index keys can be up to 254 characters, and can be
composed of multiple fields or expressions which
evaluate to a string not longer than 254 characters.
Future plans include support for multiple indexes ,
as well as multiple .DBF files open concurrently.
All field types are supported except memo fields.
Questions/comments can be left for me on the
InterLink or FidoNet Pascal or dBASE conferences.
More complete responses can be had by using InterLink
for messages, as I then don't have to read messages
on line.
This program is being distributed under the Shareware
concept.
If you like this program and use it, a registration
fee of $10 is required for non-profit users.
Commercial users MUST register for a one-time,

my personal time and expense in developing,
documenting, and distributing this toolbox, and does
not constitute the sale of the code contained
therein.
