>Here's a blast from the past....I'm going through some old boxes of magazines and junk....and found an ad for Turbo C from the spring of 1987. I will never forget the time when I started using Turbo C and got my hands on a library that would read/write dBase files. I thought I was in heaven. Those were the days!

They had a library for access dbase files for Turbo Pascal too. I adviced to a friend of mine (I never used it, just adviced because of it's indeks, seek ... functions) months later him said me that "Why you adviced that toolbox me? That's terrible with large .dbf files. I'm trouble bad with it".
