NAME

       XBase::Memo - Generic support for various memo formats

SYNOPSIS

       Used indirectly, via XBase. Users should check its man page.

DESCRIPTION

       Objects of this class are created to deal with memo files, currently .dbt, .fpt and .smt (code for this provided by Dirk Tostmann).
       Package XBase::Memo defines methods read_header to parse that header of the file and set object's structures, write_record and last_record
       to write the records properly formated and find the end of file.

       There are four separate subpackages in XBase::Memo, dBaseIII, dBaseIV, Fox and Apollo. Memo objects are effectively of one of these types
       and they override their specific record handling routines where appropriate.

NAME

       XBase::SDBM - SDBM index support for dbf

DESCRIPTION

       When developing the XBase.pm/DBD::XBase module, I was trying to support as many existing variants of file formats as possible. The module
       thus accepts wide range of dbf files and their versions from various producers. But with index files, the task is much, much harder. First,
       there is little or no documentation of index files formats, so the development is based on reverse engineering.

       None if the index formats support is finalized. That made it hard to integrate them into one consistent API. That is why I decided to write
       my own index support, and as I wanted to avoid inventing yet another way of storing records in pages and similar things, I used SDBM. It
       comes with Perl, so you already have it, and it's proven and it works.

       Now, SDBM is a module that aims at other task than to do supporting indexes for a dbf. But equality tests are fast with it and I have
       creted a structure in each index file to enable "walk" though the index file.
