Xbase DBMS is a collection of specifications, programs, utilities and a C++ class library for manipulating Xbase type datafiles and indices which has been developed and produced by many people from around the world using the internet. This project was formerly known as Xbase for Linux, but as I have recieved input from several people who are compiling this on platforms other than Linux, I have renamed it to Xbase DBMS. The main development of this library however, remains on the Linux platform utilizing the GCC public domain C/C++ compiler. <br><br> XBase DBMS currently includes routines to support multi-user access for .DBF databases, fields, Dbase III and IV memo fields (variable length fields), dates, record and file locking and (.NDX) indices. As of release 1.7.4, Xbase is compatible with dBASE III data, index and memo fields and also has support for some dBASE IV features.<br><br> New with release 1.8.0<br><br> <li>Unix automake/autoconf support - thanks to Denis Pershin <li>Exception Processing - Thanks to Denis Pershin <li>The beginnings of a Turbo Vision Interface - thanks to Vitaly Fedrushkov <li>Renamed classes to avoid naming conflicts with other libraries <li>Support for string class - thanks to Hubertus Kehl and Denis Pershin <br><br> There is also an HTML user interface class which works well with the Apache Web Server. Future releases will support filters, enhanced .MDX index files, transaction support, a client server configuration, secure data options and other enhancements requested by anyone using this library. <br><br> If you are looking for database libraries in general, or need access to Xbase files in particular, give Xbase DBMS a try. If you are a C programmer and new to C++ object oriented programming, Xbase for Linux is easy to learn and will help transition you to the world of object oriented programming. If you have never programmed in "C/C++" before, this library should provide complete enough examples to get you started programming in "C/C++" with confidence.<br><br><br> <h3><h2>Table Of Contents</h2> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_toc.html">Xbase DBMS Manual</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="doc++/">Experimental Documentation Created by Doc++</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_apps.html">Sample Programs and Applications</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_port.html">Makefiles for Various Platforms</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_download.html">Download Xbase Library</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_help.html">Help With the Xbase Project</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_probs.html"> Report bugs and suggest enhancements</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_order.html"> Order Xbase Products</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="ChangeLog"> Whats New - Change List and Planned Enhancements</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="COPYING.LIB"> Licensing Information</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_links.html"> Other Xbase related links</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_bib.html"> Bibliography</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="xbase_mail.html">Xbase Mailing Lists</A><br><br> <img src="/icons/hand.right.gif"> <A HREF="/XbaseArchive/"> Xbase Mail Archives</A><br><br> </h3> <hr> <A HREF="mailto:xbase@startech.keller.tx.us"> Send me mail - xbase@startech.keller.tx.us</A><br> <p>(c)1997 StarTech <p><img src="xbase.jpg"><br><hr> <meta name="keywords" content = "free DBMS Database Management System D-Base DBase XBase X-Base date classes methods C C++ object oriented NDX DBF MDX Xbase for Linux Xbase for Windows Xbase for Dos Solaris Sun VAX VMS"> </BODY> </HTML>
