This is a survey for people who regularly or occasionally program in a dialect of the dBase language or other database languages, and people who do a significant amount of database programming in any other environments. My purpose in this survey is to gather information on the database environments in use by programmers, not end-users using dBase, RBase, etc. in an application environment. Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey. 1. What environments do you use? (Dbase, Clipper, Foxpro, others?) 2. Of your dBase language work, how much of it is under MS-DOS? What other environments? 3. Do you use data entry screen designers, report generators, debuggers, integrated development environments, interpreters, etc? Which ones? 4. Do you use C or other language libraries that provide dBase compatibility and the ability to use dBase data files? Which products do you use? 5. Do you do database programming in other languages that is not related to or compatible with any dBase dialect or file structure? 6. What tools do you use when programming in other languages that you don't use for dBase programming? Would you use similar tools in your dBase programming if they were available, satisfactory, etc.? Which ones? 7. Do you mix a dBase dialect with C or other languages? Please e-mail or us-mail answers, comments, and requests for summaries to: Marc Haverland haverlan@tramp.colorado.edu OR P.O. Box 5549 Arvada, CO 80005 Thanks again.
