For reading -- yes. For writing -- XBase.pm has a locksh and lockex method to lock the file. The question is to what extend Clipper (or Fox* or whatever) uses the same system calls, documentation of native XBase applications doesn't tell this. So the answer is that for multiple updates you should probably consider real RDBMS system (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, to name a few). No, it doesn't. The character data is returned exactly as it appears in the dbf/dbt file.

If your DBF file is created by one application, but you want to open the fixed file in another application, then you may fail. The solution is to set the correct version in the combo box beside "Select DBF to be repaired" edit box according to the second application and then start reparation again. For example, your DBF file is created by Clipper but you want to open it in dBase III, then you need to set "Version" to "dBase III" and then repair the file again.

Contact with our technical support: support@datanumen.com. If possible, please also save the repair log into a file(make sure the "Include System Information" option in the save file dialog is selected) and attach it in your e-mail.

XBase.pm doesn't support this directly. You'd probably want to create new table, copy the data and rename back. Patches are always welcome.

For Windows: You can connect remote DBF database by sharing the directory and map it to local drive. You should disable the OPLOCKS of your Samba/NT/2000 server. This is done by manipulating the following registry key: For Linux: You can use mounting. One user uses Samba to maped NTFS partitions in Linux servers, and DBF driver works normally like mapping any mount point in Linux.

Random Lengths submits e-mail publications to its Internet Service Provider as close as possible to the release times indicated above. However, many factors affect the publication process and release times may vary from one week to the next, especially for the Midweek and Lumber Reports Although most subscribers receive their e-mail reports promptly after the release time, delays in delivery of e-mails can occur that are out of our control.

Yes. You will need software to extract the compressed zip file (for example, WinZip). For the XLS service, you will need software that can import MS Excel v5.0 spreadsheet files (for example, Excel). For the DBF service, you will need software that can import DBase III database files (for example, Access)

Contact Random Lengths and let us know you are having problems. We can resend the report directly to you, provide suggestions, and help you test solutions with your technical support staff.

Your Perl scripts can have the extension .pl or .cgi. However, Perl scripts that are going to produce output to the web (world readable) would use the extension .cgi. Perl scripts that are only meant to be executed by yourself via the command line or even scripts which may be executed through the web without any output should be set to the .pl file extension.

You must have the Win32::API module (available at www.cpan.org) installed.

You can use the Win32::OLE module to create an instance of a MAPI session and send a message. In order for this to work, you must have messaging configured correctly on your machine. If you can are using Microsoft Exchange, chances are this will work fine. If you need to send Internet mail, you should use Net::SMTP. For more information on Net::SMTP, see How do I send email from Perl for Win32?.

Yes, the state security freeze laws include some necessary exemptions to the freeze. Security freezes do not apply to any person or entity with whom the consumer has an existing account, nor to a limited number of other parties who may access the files for purposes not related to new accounts, such as law enforcement agencies and certain governmental agencies that need them for investigations and other statutory responsibilities.

You have full control over your .htaccess file. Just make sure that whatever you do conforms to the Acceptable Use Policy.

You should use Win32::OLE to access this API. See question Is there a way to use OLE Automation servers from my Perl script? and consult the DAO documentation.
