			C++ Database Library
                        
                        ====================

Introduction
============

This library is intended to allow Borland C++ programs to create, write, 
interrogate and manipulate databases and indexes which are in dBase III 
format. These files usually have the extension .dbf. The library is based
on a group of objects which represent databases, records and fields.

The library of functions will be of use in building database applications and 
report generators, both standalone, and for use with other database 
applications.
