Qwik Browse 2.1
===============


Qwik Browse is a subset of the Browser 2.1 product but it does not support
indexes. This is usually acceptable when opening a database for non-update
or similar situations.

The advantages are that there is no limit as to the size of the database
(Browser 2.1 is limited to 8192), and that no initialization has to be done
on the selection set (Browser 2.1 first scans the entire database to set up
array pointers. On a slow machine or a very large database, this can be
quite time consuming.).

The functionality of Qwik Browse is the same as Browser so refer to the
Browser Documentation for complete information.

Qwik Browse is called with the same parameters as Browser but the
function name is Q_BROWSER .

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
