Vendor's Description (from Readme files, web site, etc.):
For Delphi TOPAZ offers a component library of superb database access
components and a library of over 200 useful date and time math, string
and file manipulation routines. TOPAZ for Delphi integrates a broad
spectrum of procedures, functions, and components into a versatile
programmer's tool-kit. TOPAZ enables programmers to write with "dBASE-like"
syntax in Delphi and use standard dBASE data and index files. TOPAZ includes
utilities, numerous programming examples and sample programs.TOPAZ provides
a powerful and comprehensive platform from which you can quickly develop
applications of any type. Develop both single-user and multi-user database
applications for Delphi under MS Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT and Linux.
TOPAZ comes with complete support for Delphi compilers (version 3 through
2010, also Kylix version 1,2 and 3, and C++Builder 3,4,5 and 6). It is
not necessary to purchase additional versions, upgrades, or add-ons to
TOPAZ to switch between platforms.
In the final compiled application the TOPAZ database engine is linked into
the EXE, therefore TOPAZ applications are self-contained and
self-sufficient. TOPAZ apps do not require any third party DLLs or the
Borland Database Engine (BDE). Most TOPAZ applications can be distributed
as just one file either electronically.
