DBSEARCH was written for people who inherit dBase III or compatible
data files, but want an easier way to "get a handle" on their
data. Edit dBase-type data files -- without dBase.

Using dBSEARCH, do the following (and more) with dBase III data files:

~ "Point and shoot" loading of any file, any path.

~ Browse records in various view-styles.

~ Search for records using a template which can include up to
seven fields and their ranges or values.

~ Sort files based on any three fields.

~ Print current status (filename, number of records, finds, etc).

~ Print records (some or all fields, indexed or not, finds-only or
not).

~ Construct and print address labels (indexed or not, etc.)

~ Create a new database composed of fields from the original and
containing records (indexed order or not, etc.).

~ Save current (filename, path) settings to disk.

Load dBase III data files of any size. However, searching and
indexing can only cover 32000 records at a time. Up to 128 fields can
be displayed and selected. Memo fields (free-form dBase fields) are
ignored by the program.

The search template is convenient and intuitive, as well as extremely
flexible. Data files are not modified by the program, ensuring that
data is not destroyed.

dBSEARCH allows direct editing of dBase type data files--without dBase! 
                                                                        
With dBSEARCH the user can do the following (and more) with dBase III   
data files:

dBase III data files of any size can be loaded.  However, searching and 
indexing can only cover 32000 records.  Up to 128 fields can be         
displayed and selected.  Memo fields (free form dBase fields) are

The program uses pull-down (highlighted sliding selection bars)         
exclusively.  The search template is very convenient and intuitive, yet 
also extremely flexible.  Data files are not modified by the program,   
thus ensuring that data will not be destroyed by the user.  Only new    
forms of existing data can be created.
