[comp.databases] .dbf encryption/password protection - help request

witold@ccs.carleton.ca (Witold Dziewaltowski-Gintowt) (06/19/91)

Greetings,

	This will probably prove to be quite an ignorant question, but being 
a novice to data bases...Please, don't flame!!!

	QUESTION:

Would anyone know if clipper 5.0 provides any facilities for encrypting (or password-protecting) the .dbf files? My particular problem is based on a need to create database files that could only be modified by specific (privileged) applications. 

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Since, as I suspect, this is a trivial matter quite too basic for the scope of this group, you are welcome to respond to my personal address.
