You can also search the libraries on the keyword BIN to find examples and code. SCAN *.* LIB:ALL KEY:BIN /DESC What follows is what has been suggested on this forum in the past, in regards to dBASE and 3'rd party C products. 3'rd Party Products: ------------------------------------------------------------ X2c includes 6 libraries, that over DBF files and indexes (all types a-la SoftC), Screens and general functions, all of Clipper extended library (DBEDIT, MEMOEDIT, ACHOICE, etc), long strings (memos), Xbase expressions and new Foxpro/DBIV related features (windows, controls, BROWSE, etc) It has over 700 modules X2c has database I/O and lots more, even PRG -> C, also For more information about X2c check DBADVISOR/LIB 3 or CLIPPER/lib 7.

------------------------------------------------------------ Software Science makes a product called Topaz. This is a set of access libraries for dBase files. They provide both Pascal and C++ versions. The Pascal version comes with complete source code which allows you to compile it for the target platform of your choice. My guess is that the C++ version does too. You can reach Software Science at (415) 697-0411, or send email to Max Weinryb [70401,1147]. ------------------------------------------------------------ PRO-C Lite (code generator) comes with PRO-dbx for accessing Xbase files.

The magazine also sponsors a forum: GO DBA There is an active section on database programming using C/C++ in this forum. =================================================== In the Borland C/DOS (GO BCPPDOS) forum, LIB 5, there are some non-supported libraries of C functions that allow access to dBASE files from C. I believe that SoftC is now a commercial product, but these old shareware versions are still available for download: SOFTC2.EXE/Bin Bytes: 143663, Count: 440, 22-Nov-89 SoftC Database Library v1.10 by K.
