[comp.databases] MDX files

wew@naucse.cse.nau.edu (Bill Wilson) (10/19/90)

Does anyone have any code in C that shows how to read an MDX
file and process a DBF file?  I can do it with an NDX file,
but don't have the time right now to figure out the MDX file
format.

Thanks!

O.K., what's it worth to you?.... :-)  Seriously, the only third party
library I am familiar with that claims .MDX access is the AccSys C library
from Copia International in Wheaton, Ill.  It seems to be priced from 
about $400 to $1500 depending on single or multi-user and with or without
source.  Their number is (708) 682-8898 or FAX: (708) 665-9841.  (Note,
however, that I have not used this product, but am familiar with it
from advertisments and tradeshows.)  It is also available for a slight
discount in most DOS "Programmer's ________" type catalogs.
