- The routines in the DynaBase III group act (at high speed!) on Dbase III
- and dBase III Plus database files. They are intended to perform certain
- simple functions at high speed.
-
- All routines require 256K available memory. If you register as an UNDERWARE
- user, the registration routine will allow you to run these programs in batch
- mode; however that requires a hard disk.
-
- DYNAPPND
- Performs a simple APPEND of one file to another. The fields
- are not converted or re-arranged; in fact no field checking
- takes place at all. If the target file's record format is
- shorter than the source file's, records will be truncated;
- if longer, they will be padded with blanks.
-
- DYNAPACK
- PACKs a dBase file in about 1/20th the time dBase would take
- to do it!
-
- DYNASDF
- Produces an SDF file from a dBase file in about 1/20th the time
- required by dBase.
-
- DYNANAME
- Rename fields in a dBase file without having to re-copy the
- entire file, as dBase's MODIFY STRUCTURE does.
-
- DYNACHCK
- Check a dBase file for records containing invalid (non-printable)
- characters. A list of records (if any) is produced in the file
- DELBADS.PRG, which you can DO from within dBase to get rid of the
- errant records.
-
- DYNADEL
- Rapidly deletes all records from a dBase file (but doesn't PACK
- them).
-
- DYNARCAL
- Rapidly recalls all records from a dBase file.
-
- DYNATEST
- Rapidly produces a test file of specified size.
-
- Running the programs without any parameters will cause the run syntax to be
- displayed. Running the programs with correct parameters will cause the
- UNDERWARE logo to be displayed; you can then find out how to register. Pressing
- F9 at the logo screen will cause the program's execution to continue normally.
-
- Contact UNDERWARE for information on corporate registration and/or special
- rates on registration for the entire set of DynaBase III programs!
