Vendor's Description (from Readme files, web site, etc.):
Welcome to Halcyon, a series of Pascal routines for management of Clipper, dBase III/IV/V , and FoxPro files. The routines are designed to do the following:
- Provide a simple user interface to read and write xBase files in a network environment.
- Allow creation, use and updating of multiple .CDX/.MDX/.NDX/.NTX index files in reading and updating the data (DBF) files.
- Allow reading and updating of .DBT/FPT memo file entries.
- Allow creation of new dBase III/IV and FoxPro files. These routines will work with FoxPro, dBase III and IV memo file structures.
- Provide a file handler interface that offers a simple disk management capability including file sharing for LANs.
- Allow operation under all versions of Object Oriented
Borland Pascal, including Delphi (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0) TP7.0,
and BP7.0 (real,
protected, and Windows). - Do all of the above using Pascal--No .ASM or .OBJ files are used.
- Apply Object Oriented Programming to create easily usable modules.
- No additional license or royalty payments for your applications.
