dBase Heavyweights, Are there any dBase routines in the public domain anywhere. I looked in a couple of locations that had database archives, but most of the stuff was just dBase clones. I have dBase III+... I would just like to get a few free programs so that I can copy some of the routines rather than write my own. --pat traynor--

Within is a library of many useful routines and applications. The Foxbase library will be almost completely compatible with dBase III+. I am familiar with this particular forum, but I am pretty sure that AT has its own as well. I'm not sure whether AT has a CompuServe forum or their own BB. AT should be able to tell you where to find their forum (using huge amounts of willpower here to resist making easy joke).

It is free, active 24hrs a day, and has (I think) about eight lines on each speed. There is a fair amount of dBASE III+ and dBASE IV source code there, as well as public domain and shareware items that have _nothing_ to do with database products. (We provide this as a public service.) Anyone can log onto the board - you do not need to be a registered user or have any sort of support contract. Here are the two numbers: 1200 Baud: (213) 538-6196 2400 Baud: (213) 324-2188 Also, if you are really into it, consider ordering the EMS library for dBASE. It is $99 for about 80 disks with more source of all sorts than you could get through in a year. They can be contacted at (301) 924-3594. Essentially, it is a mass of stuff that is pulled down from BBSes. I personally endorse this highly, but I'm sure Ashton-Tate, Inc. has no official position on it.

There is a shareware package called SoftC that gives C programmers a rich set of library routines to access dBase III+ and dBase IV data, index and memo files. You should be able to find the package on any large DOS bbs, or Compuswerve/GENIE. -- : "It's such a fine line between clever..." : Doug Lucy : : "...and stupid." : S&R Software : : : : UUCP: uunet!aplcomm!aplcen!wb3ffv!imladris!srs!dlucy :
