- Description:
-
- DISPNDX is a utility to display the contents of dBASE II & III
- index file key expressions. The file name, creation date, type of file
- and key expression are listed. Error messages are provided for empty
- datasets and non-dBASE files. It requires MS-DOS or PS-DOS 2.x or later.
-
- DISPNDX can be run from the DOS prompt or by using the RUN command
- under dBASE III. Console output can be redirected or piped as desired.
- You can bring the output of DISPNDX into a database for further analysis
- by redirecting the output to a file, USEing one of the two model databases
- provided with this library (INDEX2 is for dBASE II, INDEX3 for dBASE III),
- and APPENDing from the file with the SDF option.
