These are the sources for libdbas, the C interface library. Not very useful I'm afraid. Marcel Thanks both, My ACP pretends to unpack the _arc but no lib files can be found. C is not helping me anyway. The demo program DBPTR does not seem to produce this bug and only uses DATA_bin so that suggests the problem is in the Basic extensions of DBAS_bin.

Re: [Ql-Users] DBAS source code
Hi Bob, I think, if memory serves me right, that the sources are in the Quanta Library. I'm pretty sure of this, but it's been a while I admit! Also, I'm not sure which is the current version so the one in Quanta might be older than what you have? Dilwyn has www.dilwyn.me.uk/database/dbas.zip which is version 2.12 and appears to have sources in libdbas_source_arc - I don't have anything that can open arc files on my laptop here, so it might not have what you want. HTH Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. ___ QL-Users Mailing List
Re: [Ql-Users] DBAS source code
Hi Bob, As far as I know, there is no source code to DBAS, the Quanta library holds the DBAS package that contains example assembler and C source code to create databases. But not the extensions. I did disassemble DBAS many years, but I would have to look on floppy disks for it.
