- PERMISSION TO DISTRIBUTE
- ========================
-
- Our sending this disk to you and the letter that accompanies it
- constitutes the approval of Bowen Software for your distribution
- of PopDBF as part of your shareware library. If you have obtained
- this from another source, (not directly from Bowen Software),
- please write or call for our explicit permission. We further ask
- that you send us a copy of your standard written materials
- (catalogs or flyers) which clearly explain the shareware concept,
- the need for users to register products they use, and the fact
- that the price of your disks is a copying fee only and does not
- constitute payment for the product. The material must also
- differentiate between shareware and public domain software.
-
- You may distribute PopDBF as is. That is, on one disk with all
- files in an uncompressed format. Optionally, you may distribute
- them on one disk using a compression format such as the ZIP
- format. If using the later method, you MUST leave the READ.ME
- and VENDOR.DOC files in an uncompressed format. Regardless of
- distribution method, you MUST distribute all the files together.

- Shareware Professionals (ASP). For more information on the ASP
- vendor program, contact the ASP at:

- The ASP vendor program reduces the workload for both authors and
- vendors, and helps give customers confidence that reasonable
- standards are met in the distribution of shareware products.

- PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
- ====================
-
- You may use one of the following descriptions of PopDBF in your
- catalog, brochures, or flyers.
-
- Long Description:
- -----------------
- PopDBF is a utility program which provides "Instant Access to
- dBase Files" at the press of the hotkey. It is a memory resident
- program which takes a minimal amount of memory, but can also be
- run in non-resident "pass-thru" mode. Using PopDBF you can
- browse, edit, append, delete and search records. You can also
- delete, pack, or zap database files.
-
- Some of PopDBF's other features include: view index expressions
- (.IDX, .NDX, .NTX), copy structure, print file structures, print
- only selected fields, print only records which meet search,
- search entire record or selected field(s), and much more.
-
- PopDBF is so intuitive that even a novice user needs only to know
- the hotkey. However, context sensitive help is available just by
- pressing F1.
-
- If you need access to any dBase .DBF file, you need PopDBF!
