Good afternoon,
This one involves the quest for information so I'm hoping there are other
"old-timers", such as myself, who worked with DBASE in its infancy back in
the early 80's.
There were four programs that created programs that came with DBASE II.
These programs were filegen.prg, formgen.prg, labelgen.prg, and menugen.prg.
I had managed to get a hold of a book that had the full code listings for
these programs. I was able to use some parts of these listings to create
programs that made other programs.
Unfortunately, that book got lost by the wayside after many moves via the
military.
I'm attempting to find out either a). The name of the book that had these
listings in them. I'm figuring it was authored by Luis Castro, the
individual who wrote or co-wrote the four program generators. Again, I can't
recall the book for the life of me. b). The listings for these programs
from another source.
The reason for my re-interest is that I had several spin off programs and I
think I can do some modernization with my own code. Also, it is fun getting
back into the old DBASE again just to relearn and to branch back out again.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
