performance improvements to PC-DBMS to remedy problems or
shortcomings. The User's Guide for PC-DBMS version 1.0

REDIRECTED OUTPUT
The conclusion of select and show command reports
redirected with the output command tended to remain in a
DOS buffer until the buffer was flushed by some other
operation such as exiting PC-DBMS. Problem fixed.

designated columns were sufficiently interspersed between
two source tables. Problem fixed.
Redirected output of the select command now be as wide as
130 characters.
DISPLAY UTILITY
Updating an indexed table could corrupt the index under
unusual circumstances. Problem fixed (in v1.21).
Deleting a record with via a keyed field did not delete
the key. Problem fixed.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
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/
