- Welcome to the CS-libraries.
- A C++ database system.
-
-
-
- The libraries are to be used with Borland C++.
- Both MS-DOS and Windows applications are supported.
-
- The libraries are intended for programmers who
- need some kind of database in their application but
- are reluctant to use any of the vast DBMS's currently
- on the market.
- In other words: the supplied classes are not just
- front ends for some database server but are doing
- all their IO themselves.
-
- For the non-Windows programmer, classes are included
- which support in building the user-interface. The
- included demonstration address-database is an
- example of that.
-
- An important part of the package is a program generator.
- It generates the source for a database with automatically
- updated indexes, easy access to fields, support for DATE
- fields, conversion to-and-from ASCII and so on.
- This program generator also produces a conversion function
- to maintain compatibility with the dBASE file format.
-
- In addition the package contains classes which go beyond
- the traditional database.
- E.g. classes for variable length records and a class
- which works like a 'heap in a file'. This makes it
- possible to maintain pointer structures on disk!
-
-
- For more information please see the csdb.txt file in the
- DOC directory.

-
- Shareware distribution:
-
- You probably have received this package in a '.zip' file.
- Unless somebody has tampered with the original
- distribution, this file contains subdirectories.
- If by now you have all the files in just one
- directory, you probably didn't used the -d option.
-
- To do it right try:
-
- c:\temp> pkunzip -d cslib15a.zip
