- 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 from EMS. Databases can be opened in
- read-only modes for network security control or for use with CD-ROMs.
- The network version of B-Tree Filer offers flexible locking
- capabilities.
-
- 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); a rebuild unit to purge deleted
- records or regenerate a corrupted index file; a reorg unit 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 in the
- network version are three network-specific units for message passing,
- printer control, and file management on Novell, NetBIOS, and SHARE
- compatible networks.
-
- Note that the network version of B-Tree Filer can generate single user
- applications as well as network-compatible ones. Source code written
- using the single-user version can include calls to network locking
- functions, but these functions do nothing in the single-user version.
- In this way, you can use the single-user version to write applications
- that run on a network just by recompiling with the network version of
- the library.
-
- Also included are bonus units that support object-oriented coding of
- databases under Turbo Pascal 5.5 or later.
