and uploaded as public domain software because the author likes to
share it with other Turbo Pascal Users. Please keep the source the
way it is and write extentions as separate units.

This unit provides read/write access to Dbase III (Plus) *.DBF files. The
unit is uploaded as it is, the author is not responsible for any damgage
by programs using this module. The unit is, of course, tested.

Before using any of the Db3 routine a program shall call Db3_open to
initialize the file internal buffers & info. When finishing the program
should call Db3_close to close the file & cleanup the internal buffer.

All routines are documented so there's not much to say about them. Access
to the DBF file is only allowed through this unit, so the file record
isn't exported.

Records must be read by Db3_read or Db3_readnext, and written by Db3_append
or Db3_replace. All record functions use LONGINTs as parameter for addressing
records in the file.

When a record is read, one can read the field in the record by using the
record number as parameter of the Db3_field2 procedures. This record
number lies between 1 and maxfield. If one 's to be independend of the
location of the record the Db3_fieldno can be used to convert a field
name to the field number.

When writing records fill all field with Db3_2field routines and don't
forget to use Db3_undelete to initialize the deleted marker. It's of
course also possible to read a record, modify some field and replace it.

The Db3_pack routine packs the file in-place, so no temp file is created.

This unit can't create DBase III *.DBF files as it can't write the file
header & fieldefinitions. It's also impossble to change the structure of
a DBase III *.DBF database with it. This is done to keep the unit simple.
Creating & modifing databases is much easier in Dbase III Language.

This unit uses a special naming convention to be sure there's no
confict with procedures from other units. All exported names have
a three letter prefix Db3_. The 01 in the Unit name is a unique
version number.
