	DBASE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		dBASE was the first widely used database management system or DBMS for microcomputers, published by Ashton-Tate for CP/M, and later on the Apple II, Apple Macintosh and IBM PC under DOS where it became one of the best-selling software titles for a number of years.
		dBASE was licensed to users for a term of fifty years in the unlikely event that a user would use their copy of dBASE for a long period of time.
		dBASE's database system was one of the first to provide a header section for describing the structure of the data in the file.

	dBASE Expression Indexes: A Primer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The expression for a dBASE expression index is created by using dBASE functions and syntax to concatenate multiple fields or to perform the modifications of field values for fields included in the index expressions.
		When creating a dBASE index that is to be based on the values from two or more fields in the table for which the index is being created, the two or more fields are concatenated (connected together) in a manner similar to how String type values are concatenated in Delphi syntax: the "+" operator.
		To use dBASE functions in dBASE index expressions, simply include the function wherever an index expression is called for, using the appropriate dBASE syntax for the function, along with a reference to the name(s) of the field(s) used in the function.

		dBASE's history can be traced back to the mid-1960s in the form of a system called RETRIEVE, which was marketed by.
		One of RETRIEVE's users was the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and in the late 1960s they asked one of their programmers,, to produce their own customized version.
		They purchased a small company called who were busy working on "high-end" business applications, and eventually released their spreadsheet called, a word processor called, and, of course, a database called dBASE Mac.

		Subsequent versions with additional features are known as dBASE III, dBASE III+, and dBASE IV, all of which were owned and developed by Borland Corporation (now Inprise), but were sold to dBASE Inc. in March, 1999.
		The dBASE format for storing data has become a de facto standard, and is supported by nearly all database management and spreadsheet systems.
		Even systems that do not use the dBASE format internally are able to import and export data in dBASE format.

	The FoxPro History - Articles - A Personal History of dBASE
		Just by looking at the good code that had been accepted by dBASE up to that line and comparing it to the bad line, I soon realized that when we open quotes, we have to close them; and every "if" is followed by an "endif", sometimes with an "else" in between.
		Instead of fixing the problems in the DOS version, the developers were instructed to port dBASE to the 32 bit operating system of the future: IBM OS/2.
		KSoft is headed by Alan A. Katz, a long-time dBASE advocate and a well-respected man in the dBASE Community.

	The History of FoxPro - People That Began The History
		RETRIEVE was used by Jet Propulsion Laboratory of Pasadena,Calif. In the late 60’s Jeb Long, a new programmer at JPL, was assigned the task of writing a program which would perform the same functions as RETRIEVE.
		He was known as the guru of the dBASE products at Ashton-Tate, and was the architect of the dBASE language and responsible for its components for all versions of dBASE III and dBASE IV, with the exception of the initial dBASE version.
		In mid-1983, Ashton-Tate purchased the dBASE II technology and copyright from Ratliff and he joined Ashton-Tate as vice president of new technology.

	How to use dBASE data with Access and Jet
		The dBASE data is only updateable when the latest Jet 4.0 service pack or the BDE is installed.
		When using the dBASE ISAM with the BDE for dBASE III, you must have an INF file defined to associate the indexes with the DBF file.
		When using the dBASE ISAM to link to a table in Access, you must be able to exclusively lock the table to create the link.

	Using Crystal Reports with dBase
		dBase has a powerful native report writer, but some programmers prefer using other report writers such as Crystal Reports or R and R. Crystal Reports can be used with Visual dBase via API or ActiveX.
		The "Crystal Report Control" is now on the dBase Component Pallet and ready to be dragged on to any form.
		On the Visual dBase "32bit" CD are utilities to convert Crystal "RPT" files to Visual dBase "32bit" "REP" files.

		Foxpro can import files from dBase, but its file formats are different and it might try to update the format. If you try it, test it out on a copy of the file. If you can get the dBase IV driver to work as described above, I would recommend that.

	CALIFORNIA COURT INVALIDATES ASHTON-TATE'S COPYRIGHT ON dBASE PROGRAMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		On December 11, 1990, Judge Hatter issued an order invalidating Ashton-Tate's copyrights in its own dBase line of programs, the foundation of its business, on the ground that Ashton-Tate had knowingly deceived the United States Copyright Office when it filed its copyright registrations for the dBase programs.
		The court stated that although Ashton-Tate knew that its programs were derived from JPLDIS, a public domain program developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, it had "repeatedly failed" to disclose this fact to the Copyright Office when it filed its copyright applications for the programs.
		Although two events usually don't constitute a trend, invalidation of a copyright is rare, and for two courts to take such an action so close in time sends a strong message to the software industry that the doctrine of unclean hands is here to stay.
