DBF2TXT - Shareware
===================

Introduction:
-----------

What is DBF2TXT?
- - - - - - - - 

Well, like you might have guessed, DBF2TXT is intended to convert DBF-files
into a more readable format - *.TXT. To accomplish this, the DBF-file is
read entry for entry and a corresponding TXT-file is created. In addition
to the data in the file, there will be some information about the converted
file, which might be of interest for programmers who want to deal with
DBF-files.

Nowadays DBF-files aren't that important like they were in earlier
days, but they still are used. To read DBF-files easier you would have to
start a database program to read the file, but with DBF2TXT you can convert
it to a more readable TXT-file.

DBF2TXT is based on the DBF-Engine written by myself(I like to call this
library my DBF-Engine...), which can be used to manipulate DBF-files with
PowerBasic.
If You are intersted in the DBF-Engine, contact me(register.txt) or search
the source where you got this file...

I have to admit, it is sometimes possible that you will get german
messages, I do not think that this will actually happen, but it could
be, I felt the urge to say, just in case...

Differences full version/shareware:

The shareversion of DBF2TXT is virtually non-limitted, but, of course, there
IS one limitation: You will only be able to convert the first 100 entries in
the source-file. In the full version there will be no limitation of course ;-)
(The now folowing lines are not that way because I am insane, but because
 I wanted to give a few hints to deactivate the SW-limitation, hope you will
 get 'em!)

/Of course there is a option to deactivte the shareware-limitation,
Perhaps you will find it, I will try to give you some hints! To
reduce the time you will need to find the correct
answer of the question 'How can I deactivate the shareware-limitation?',
yes, I will give you some hints.

to be frank, I will sometimes start to write junk, so just ignore about
half the stuff I wrote and just concentrate on the
early letters...

and, who knows, perhaps you will get the secret option to
unlimitate the shareware.
this would only work once though but I think this is one more than nothing,
hell, I think you should fall on your knees and thank god for that one
opportunity... ...of course, if you got it by now, you can start
right away to use it...

If you didn't get it by now, read the earlier lines and look at the beginnings!
(Last hint - you might have seen puzzles like this in newspaper...)
