dBTools dBASE III+ Enhancement tools

ABOUT THE DEMO

Included in the dBTools package is a demonstration program that
illustrates the many features of dBTools. The source code is included,
so it also acts as a tutorial on how to use dBTools.

NOTE: the demo is written for a color adapter, and will look real
wierd on monochrome!!

To run the demo you will require dBASE III+ or a dBASE compatible
compiler (I've tried dBTools with Foxbase+ and dBXL, and I've been told
it doesn't work with Clipper).
The files DBT*.PRG, the *.DBF and *.NDX files and the .PRT printer
definition files should be in the same subdirectory.

Set up three environment variables:

SET DBPATH=
SET DBTOOLS=
SET DBTPRT=:
IBMPRO
PAN1091
HPLASER
OKI192
EPSONFX

select the subdirectory where dBASE is found:

CD /DB3 (or wherever)
DBASE \DBTDEMO (path is where DBTDEMO.PRG is found)

For example, let's say you have dBASE in a subdirectory C:\DB3,
and you copy all the necessary dBTools files into a subdirectory
called C:\DB3\TOOLS. You could execute the demo with the following
batch file:

DBPATH=C:\DB3\TOOLS
DBTOOLS=C:\DB3\TOOLS
DBTPRT=EPSONFX
CD\DB3
DBASE C:\DB3\TOOLS\DBTDEMO

This batch file is included in the dBTools package as GODEMO.BAT.
If you are using subdirectories other than those in the example, you
may modify GODEMO.BAT with a text editor.

To run the demo from a dual floppy system, you must have all the
*.PRG files, the *.IMG files, DBTOOLS.BIN, and at least one of the
*.PRT files on a floppy in your B: drive, and dBASE in your A: drive.
Then execute the batch file FLOPDEMO.
