[REBOL] Why I need DBF
From: rebolek:seznam:cz at: 2-Nov-2001 11:16
Hello,
someone asked why I need DBF? So:
1. We (me and Cyphre) were writing internet shop engine for someone last
year. It included to read data from their accounting software and publish
them on web. The accounting software could save only in its own format, DBF
and maybe XLS (not sure). So I've started writing DBF reader. But the client
was paying very bad (actually he never gave us any money) so we stopped
develoment.
2. Friend of mine wrote some statistic software for the swimming contents
years ago (1992? 1993?) in FoxPro or something like that. All results are
saved in DBF format. Two or three years are the results available thru web
but by creating pages he needs to save results in CSV and then use REBOL to
make HTML. With DBF reader he can contvert results directly.
3. I'm updating webpages for someone who's got his data in DBF. He wants me
to finish it quickly so I prefer to use finished DBF reader than finishing
my own .
So simply: DBF2HTML.r :)
