1. Bug in dbf_eng.e

Dear List
I'm rewriting Berstein's dbf_eng.e. Will be called xbase.e.
The problem I found in the original is that the record count after writes
was not being committed to the .dbf.
I can send the fixed version of dbf_eng.e if anyone's interested.
Hoping to include some handling for indexes but I'm not intellectually
capable of doing .NTX/.NDX so I'll probably hack up an ISAM-alike instead.

Hello Axten,
Hmmm, I converted about 50 meg of .dbf , .dbx , .dbi , .ntx , .dbe , .dbk , .dbs
, .dbt
files into EDS database and didnt have a problem with those files.
Where was the problem located?
I would love to have a copy of your patch. Probably will save me some time in
the future.
I constantly am converting old DB III, IV files into EDS. I might want to stay
with
DB filespec if I ever have the time to write a descent DB database read/writer.
Are you re-writing anymore of the code to be compatible with the DB structure?
