Subject:accessing .dbf files in pop 
From:Ian Rogers 
Volume-ID:940908.02 

Short precis: does anyone have any experience/code for accessing MicroSloth
..dbf files from Pop that you can share with me?

Longer story: ".dbf" [1] files are the "standard", binary, disk representation
of many of the database tools found on PCs (e.g. FoxPro, dBase etc.). I'm
currently in a collaborative project where at least one of the partners is
adamant that the external representation of our data should be accessible by
PC databases (and has demanded the use of .dbf files - ho hum). I'm
prototyping the User Interface so I'm using Hipworks of course. This will
actually work fine if I can conjure up some routines to read and modify the
dbf files. Any help gratefully received.

Ta muchly,

Ian.

[1] probably stands for "DataBase File".
