Compatibility
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index files (.ntx) created with the original DBFNTX driver are
compatible with DBFNTX and can be used in new applications without
reindexing. Index files (.ntx) created with this version of DBFNTX will
also work with previous CA-Clipper applications provided that you use no
FOR, WHILE, <scope>, or DESCENDING clauses.
Important! Indexes produced with DBFNTX using FOR or DESCENDING are
incompatible with earlier version (.ntx) files. If you attempt to
access them with the original DBFNTX database driver or programs
compiled with versions earlier than CA-Clipper 5.2, you will get an
unrecoverable runtime error. In CA-Clipper, this generates an "index
corrupted" error message, causing the application to terminate.
