DBDIR is a .COM program to display database files in the current directory.
It simulates the dBASEIII/IV DIR command displaying not only the filename,
but # Records, Last Update, Size, Memo(Y/N), Record Length, Number of Fields
and Version.

By typing DBDIR at the DOS prompt, the display will look similar to this:

C>DBDIR
dBDIR.com version 8 (04/03/89) Vernon E. Davis
