This  is  first  release  of  Browser  and dbfcpy.  These two programs are
designed for manipulating databases in DBF format.  As you probably know it
is very popular format not only in PC platform.  There is of course program
which  can  deal  with  DBFs on Amiga side.  It is commercial and therefore
expensive  program called "SBpro".  Destination of these programs is not to
replace  "SBpro"  because they are comparatively simple.  The main goal for
using  them  may be the need for quick view of particular database contents
and making simple operations on it.

 Dbfcpy  is  program  which  imitates  (with some limitations) behaviour of
dBase/Foxbase  command  "copy".   It can perform copying source DBF file to
destination  file with selection of records due to given criterion and also
it can do projection of particular fields.  It may be used only from CLI.

Browser is much more complicated program which can do as follows:
   - creation of new DBF files,
   - viewing of exisiting DBF files,
   - editing, appending, inserting, deleting and sorting records in files.

This  program has it's own "user interface" and may be executed either from
CLI  or  Workbench.   After  running from Workbench, Browser looks for it's
icon and reads following ToolTypes:
      EKRAN				values: PAL, PALLACE, DBLPALNF, E36LACE, S72SUPLACE
      RODZAJ_DBF		values: CLIPPER, DBASE
      PL_ZNAKI			values: PL, MAZOVIA, LATIN-2

The meaning of values given above is simple:
   - first tooltype determines resolution of screen used by program, 
   - second  describes two main kinds of DBFs  (it decides what kind of DBF
     will be created),
   - third  has importance only for databases  containing letters of Polish
     alphabet.

This  is  first  release  of  these  two  programs  so they have bugs (esp.
Browser).  Please tell me what bugs you found.

These  programs are giftware so I oblige you to send me something.  I don't
want to force you to send me money.  I'm leaving it up to you.
