- DBFModifier
-
- By - S&S Software
-
- Written By David Smith
-
-
- Purpose:
-
- 1.) To allow for the easy modification of any .DBF file.
-
- 2.) Merge DBF files into many popular programs like:
- Excel, Lotus, Symphony, Multiplan, DIF, SYLC
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- There are no command line parameters to run DBFModifier. Simply unzip the
- program into any directory you so desire. Run the program DBF.COM. The
- program is menu driven.
-
- BE SURE DOS is in the path statement in your autoexec.bat file. DBFModifier
- uses some DOS commands internal to the program. If you see BAD COMMAND or
- FILE NAME then your path does not point to your DOS files. THIS IS VERY
- IMPORTANT for file protection and the locking and unlocking of certain files.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- DO NOT DELETE any of the files that come with this program. They are used
- at various points in the operation of DBFModifier. This does not include
- the .DIZ, .DOC, .FRM files.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- This is the ·eta version of the program. This means there could be some
- hidden bugs that I've not found. I always welcome suggestions and problem
- reports. I can be reached at Warp Factor BBS (404) 773-7949. I call this
- BBS daily.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- Why should I register the program?
-
- This program is being distributed as shareware. You are entitled to
- try the program for a reasonable amount of time. If you find it useful then
- you are ask to register the program. Without registration there are certain
- features that are disabled and it will only handle DBF files of 25 records.
- We will mail you the most current copy of DBFMOD registered to you.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- Feel free to distribute this program to anyone or any BBS as long as the
- original ZIP file is distributed without any modifications.......
