PG-04: 'C' Programming: Small Routines and Tools ----------------------------- 2176 Btrieve, Data Mgt., Sort Small Programs Disk ----------------------------- AVLTREE is a set of AVL tree management routines, a form of balanced binary tree. BetEdit Bergel, Tim $0 are two classes for validation of numeric data entry. Bfile Reilly, Douglas J. $0 is a basic Btrieve class for C++. BitStr 1.2 Mavrinac, Erik $0 is a set of routines for storing an array of boolean values in minimum space. Btree (BTREE-C) Adkins, John $0 demonstrates the use of the Borland Btree classlib. BTRV Express Library (BTRVEX) Srebnick Micro Consulting $75 is a `C' library which manages the task of finding and opening Btrieve files. All calls to Btrieve are made through a central module. The advantage of this is that you can modify that module to perform a certain function each time a file is accessed. This feature could be most most useful in a network environment. For instance, you can place a routine in the central module that checks for hardware errors on the server and logs the user off gently if there is trouble. Designed for MSC 5.0 and Btrieve 4.10. Btr-Sup Srebnick Micro Consulting $50 is a Btrieve support library that manages the task of finding and opening Btrieve files. This library was designed for Microsoft C v5.0 and Btrieve v4.10.

(QUICKEST) Andrews, Ron $0 is `C' code for a sorting routine that the author claims is the fastest he has found for sorting arrays of random numbers. This is a modification of the Quicksort algorithm found in Wirth's books. It will, for example, easily sort "z" within "y" within "x". TSort $0 is a set of three sort routines implemented as templated C++ functions. A bsearch is also included. Uneek 1.0.0 Williams, Don A. $0 is C source for a program that will eliminate duplicate records in a file.
