BTV.PAS is a Turbo Pascal 6.0 object oriented interface to the Btrieve
Record Manager by Novell, Inc. It implements Btrieve file, error
handling and error display objects. It is distributed as shareware, it
is not free.

I did not supply the example programs in compiled form. They aren't
flashy, no neat screen output, and you won't get much out of them if
you don't look at the code. I hope they are sufficient to demonstrate
the use of BTV. Let me know if you find the example code inadequate.

Please contact me with any comments, suggestions, problems, bugs, or
questions.
