Recently, a friend of mine used it for a similar application with dBase; he said that the limitations of dBase made that the only possible solution. It is written in assembumbler by Jim Kyle (sysop of the CLM SIG on CompuServe). I would send it to you, but your address doesn't seem to be in our pathalias database here. One caveat: it is somewhat broken in that contrary to the docs, it won't accept a path name, and the filename specified MUST be followed by a space. If you hack 8086 assm, that should present no problem, as it comes with source. You can also find it on my bbs: SOURCEry System [405] 728-2463 FidoNet 19/0 aka 147/1 David Drexler ihnp4!occrsh!gorgo!ddrex Mandatory disclaimer: Gorgo is not, never has been, and never will be, a FidoNet/Usenet gateway. Other than my login on both machines, there is no connection between it and SOURCEry.
