🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

xb_dbfutil is a menu driven utility program for accessing DBF, MDX, NDX, DBT and INF files. that's it, that's the girl. she's a menu, she's a utility, she's here to help you poke at your database files. 🎀

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

so the Xbase64 library is out here serving various utility programs plus a whole set of C++ classes for application programming — for reading, writing and updating DBF database files, NDX and MDX index files, and DBT memo files. it's giving "we do it all and we do it cutely." 👑

Version 4.x.x has been tested for compatability with dBASE III (TM), dBASE IV (TM) and dBASE 5 (TM) version data files and indices:

• *.DBF — data
• *.NDX — single tag index
• *.MDX — multi tag index
• *.DBT — memo

and in RDBMS parlance, each *.DBF file would be a table. iykyk 🧚

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, -?, --help — display help information. three whole ways to ask for help, because sometimes you just need a friend. 😭
• -v, --version — display version information. let her introduce herself. ✨
