You might check with DEC, they could "loan" you a RDB for a trial basis.

Also, I have used Datatrieve it is good, but pricey (for the DEC, VMS)
You could use Oracle with a SQL front end....  If you are intent on using
a VMS machine, then I would defintely call DEC, they can direct you
toward a solution.  If you want to use the DEC as file-server, then
you could use dBase IV (LAN) and share it....  Hope this helps Gary J.

the previous poster is dead right, each new RUN create a dos-session, so
you only 'inherit' the SETtings from dos as it was when your clipper app
started.

note - i need to run quite a few dos programs from within my clipper app,
so i bought 'Overlay' library which allows me to shell out to dos with
almost all of my dos ram left, the clipper app taking around 12k only.
i forget the cost, but it is about 150 pounds (in the UK).

It saves off the "corrupted chains" into an add'l file.  It's kind of a
catch-22...if you put it back together, you still have a bad diskette.
Some parts of the remaining file can be read, but it's still pretty
fuzzy...

Hi, I know dBase has a compiler out that will allow you to create stand alone p
rograms.  I do not know if it is compatible with IV or not.  I do not even know
 the name of it.  But it is so you can create a database program and then give
to your counterparts for their use.  I do not know if you can sell it or get fi
nancial gain from it.  hope this helps.  GAry Jarrell

I've heard a few gripes lately regarding Netware Lite.  What little I've
read on Lantastic rated it well.  Netware 3.11 will, of course, will
require you to dedicate a high performance machine to the task of server.
One pkg that I used in a previous assignment was 10Net.  While it's not the
fastest package around, it wasn't bad for the price, the tech support was
good.  Although, be advised, the company that had 10Net sold it to another,
so the support quality could have changed. And it was fairly easy to set
up. The USAF is one of its biggest customers, I hear...

Subject:      ?: Fixing Corrupted Files

I've got a database search to the list archives as I write this
but apparently LISTSERV is rather slow at the site hosting the
list.

I've received a call from someone requesting my assistance in
fixing a file for which a single copy exists as a result of
poor auditing practices.  The diskette containing the
file is bad and Norton "fixed" some corrupted chains leaving
an unusable .DBF file.

I've checked the Simtel/Mirrors sites and cannot find anything
related to this.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

dBASE will read and follow a CONFIG.DB file in your own startup directory.  If
you have several dBASE applications (or several users), they can each have
their own customized CONFIG.DB.

X-Delivery-Notice:  SMTP MAIL FROM does not correspond to sender.

We've been using Lantastic for several years now.  We had some early problems
with versions 3.X and 4.0, but once we installed 4.1, the opperation has
been as smooth as glass.

An advantage to Lantastic on a 386 is that you can load most of the device
drivers AND network Redirector into high-memory.  Using QEMM 6.1 on an
IBM PS/2 Model 80, I still have more than 600K free after loading the
redirector, leaving lots of room for applications and Windows. BTW...
If you intend to run Lantastic unter Windows, make SURE you get the
Lantastic for Windows disk as well as the standard Lantastic disk.

We operate with both TokenRing and EtherNet networks (TokenRing at
headquarters and EtherNet at the branch locations) and have experienced
no problems either way.

You'll also end up getting more bang-for-the-buck on a networked PC arrangement.
Once you get the network up and running, maintanance should be minimal,
with the obvious exception of performing backups.

Good Luck!

I have had great success with escape code2 -> HP printers.  You can send
multiple commands with one escape, check the examples in the manual.
The examples are usually written in basic.  A common string that my
users put in their setup codes in my applications allows HPljII & HPIIIsi's
to be put in landscape & condensed mode:

?? chr(27)+&l1O"+chr(27)+"(s16.66H"

Bye the way, good practice says you should always reset the printer cause
the next person may not be aware that a setup code should be sent (like
yer boss man).

As far as I know, Borland hasn't.  But CA, who bought Nantucket has
produced a dBASE IV compiler.  List on the darn thing is approx. $845.
IMO, it'd be better to go buy FoxPro AND the distribution kit; list $700
for both of those, and have more functionality.  Just a thought....

Since Norton only writes its "fixes" to a separate file, this is a non-issue.

Melodie,
     Almost all of the dBase II/III/IV commands are cross compatabile.  If you
look at any manual, you will be able to find a list of the commands supported b
y dBase.  Refer to the dBase IV manaual, and you will find the NEW commands tha
t are dBase IV specific.  I hope this helps, Gary Jarrell.

Get the NDX replaceable database driver from CA/Nantucket.  I think

if my department's secretary every gets her act together, version 1.5.
I am new at this whole thing but am excited to develop useable applications.

If anyone can give me more info on this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

The DBASE Lan Pack allows multiple people to run the same licensed version
of DBase...

Your DBase applications must have file sharing implemented in the programs
to allow multiple users to access the same database

Using Peer-to-peer networks, you can use a machine as both the server and
as a user station... remember that user activity will eat into the cycles
available to the server and can significantly impact network performance,
even with very small applications.

Subject:      DBASE CONFIGURATION

Hi ,

I am facing a problem in setting DBase III+ configuration. The DBase is
on a Novell Netware Environment and what I want to do is set my own
configuration as soon as I execute Dbase. I cannot do this through the
config.db file because it sets the configuration for all the network users.

Is there any method by which I can do the above leaving the configuration
for other users as it is ?

Thanks in advance.

Subject:      MORE DBASE ON A NETWORK

Our computer services dept says a network using the VAX is out of
the question.  They tried it for their dept using Pathworks and had
several problems with it....I talked with a "sales rep" at Austin Computer
Systems and he discouraged Netware 2.2, saying it was outdated..and was
really pushing 3.11 (probably because it costs more). ... I have talked with
computer services about future plans and there is a plan for a campus-wide
network, but they are VERY noncommittal about what will be used.  There
are 4 or 5 other Novell networks on campus, one Lantastic, and a mixture
of PCs and MACs.  I would guess that either Novell or Lantastic would
be okay.

If I use Lantastic, am I correct in thinking that I can use one PC that
has the DBASE software and files and it can be accessed by anyone else while
the PC is also being used as a workstation?  Would I need the DBASE LAN Pack?
Could more than one person at a time use DBASE?

I really appreciate everyone's input!  Thanks!
