I need to test something with the old c_kermit option in Unix on a Windows Platform to use with wintegrate Kermit transfer.
Does anyone know a utility I can download for Windows Regards David Jordan Managing Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] DACONO Holdings Pty Ltd www.dacono.com.au PO Box 909 Lane Cove NSW 2066 Australia Phn: 61 2 9418 8320 Fax: 61 2 9427 2371 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Ballinger Sent: Saturday, 12 November 2005 5:34 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] UniVerse - file importation As Gordon mentioned, you can read .dbf files using BASIC. Here is a snippet I dug up from an old program that processed dBaseIV (Foxpro?) files (I think I got the .dbf file-spec from wotsit.org): if first.time then * header.size & rec.size can be determined by reading the * header data, but make sure that block size is greater * than the header size. h1 = seq(new.block[9,1]) h2 = seq(new.block[10,1]) header.size = (256*h2)+h1 + 4 ;* was +2? r1 = seq(new.block[11,1]) r2 = seq(new.block[12,1]) rec.size = (256*r2)+r1 first.time = 0 end Header.size tells you where the data records start, rec.size tells you how big each record is; from there on it's just parsing fixed length records. Here are some other ways to get your dBase data: 1. Import to Excel, export as tab-delimited, OPENSEQ from UV. 2. Accuterm can import dBase files directly into Pick (I'll bet Wintegrate can too). /Scott Ballinger Pareto Corporation Edmonds WA USA 206 713 6006 -----Original Message----- Whoa! dBase IV! As I recall that DB was way before ODBC for external access to the data. But IIRC the data files themselves are just text files with fixed length fields. You should be able to access the DB files with UniBasic and READSEQ. The first "record" in a dBase file is the data definition with the length and name of each field. From there you should be able to parse the records as needed. ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
