Copies of the presidential acceptance speeches were published
in CRTNET (CRTNET@PSUVM); archives can be obtained from
LISTSERV@PSUVM; COMSERVE also carries back issues in its

yup.  it's called the DBFSIX library from SuccessWare (SIX = SIndexDriver).
i bought it, but it didn't work 'cos i still got rtlink.  it *NEEDS* a
decent linker like blinker (i've been told) as this library is *BIG*.

the docs inside it look good (norton's guides) and i can't wait to get
it working, but it sure ain't a small lib.  the lib allows you to use
fox index files and even fox memo-format fields, if you want to.  index
files are as small as fox ones, and there are big claimed speed
improvements.  it looks good, but i'll have to buy blinker2.0 to find
out...

Subject:      RE: Reindex (Foxpro)

Zaki -- Never use REINDEX.  It relies on the index key expression stored
in the index file.  If that expression is damaged as part of general file
damage, your index(es) will be rebuilt incorrectly.

I recommend always using the following procedure:

DELETE FILE <index file name>.<extension>
INDEX ON <key expression> TO <file name>

Include a procedure like that in every application you build.  You should
reindex when records appear to be either missing or duplicated from the
dbf file.  Most often the cause is a corrupted index file.  Hope this helps.

Excuse me - are we talking about knowing the NAME of the field being edited
before moving to the next field?  That's easily done with VARREAD().  Or are
we talking about knowing the CONTENTS of the field?  In that case, the VALID
clause of the READ statement would seem to me to be the way to go (dBASE IV
and FoxPro).

SORRY IF THIS IS A RE-POSTING!

Dear XBaser's
Does anyone have any novel ideas on Renaming fields under program
control, and then modifying the indices which may contain the
old field name.

I would also like to ask if anyone has a detailed spec for the
structure of .MDX and .NDX files.

I work with dBaseIV 1.5, but I'd be interested in ideas from other
xBase dialects. Any takers?

Cheers

I do not know how well you are familiar with Clipper, but you can use
the GET:buffer to do some tricks. I use it in a speed search routine,
in which I use the buffer to seek in a database, WHILE a user is
typing characters, so he/she doesn't have to type the whole word.

By forcing a GET:assign(), the value is moved from the buffer to the
var.

If you want to know more, do not hasitate to mail.

Try this i think it works

    get ssnumber pict '999-99-9999' valid .not.(' ' $ ssnumber)


    $ checks for existance of 1st expression in second

Subject:      Indexing Problem

Hi all.

  I am dealing with a database over .25 Gigabytes in size.  I have a SCSI 1.2
Gig disk, so holding the data is not a problem.  I have crunched this data
down to its current size, and can't shrink it any further on the disk.  I
don't have money for a larger disk drive.

  With these limitations in mind, how can I index the data every which way
from Sunday?  I need to index on 6 different fields in the database, but be
able to have one index active WITHIN another index.  In other words, I need to
be able to access every COMBINATION of these fields possible.

  How can I use 6 indexes to do what I want.  Bear in mind that the six
indexes will pretty much fill up my available disk space.  I MAY have room for
one more index file.  Does anyone have any SMART indexing utilities/libraries,
or just some plain ole smart ideas?

                                        Help in Washington

Yeah, there's this thing called the ClipMore Library.  Durned if I can
find the phone number though.

Subject:      Renaming Fields

Dear XBaser's
Does anyone have any novel ideas on Renaming fields under program
control, and then modifying the indices which may contain that
old field name.
I work with dBaseIV 1.5, but I'd be interested in ideas from other
xBase dialects. Any takers?

Cheers

Two things.

1) SIx Driver by Successware, about $150, gives you access to Fox-type
.IDX and .CDX index files.  The nice thing about .CDX files is that they
can contain more than one "tag," each of which relates to a key value.
Therefore you can drop all your many Clipper .NTX files by converting
each to a "tag" within a single .CDX file.  This also lets you always
open a file with USE <file> INDEX <file> with assurance that you got
all the tags.

The .CDX file is a "compact" index; it should save you some disk space.
SIx has many more useful features.  For more information, send email to
Loren Scott of Successware on Compuserve 70274,2677.  From here that
address would be <70274.2677@compuserve.com>--note the periods in the
address.  I have used SIx, and I like it.

SIx does *not* currently give you Rushmore lookups or anything like
that.

2) If you don't mind using traditional Clipper .NTX index files, but
want the Rushmore "thing," check out this ClipMore library.  If you
really want the phone number these people probably have an ad in
Data Based Advisor.  This is a completely different thing from using
.CDX or .IDX files.  I have not used or seen ClipMore.
