DBFCDX.LIB 98227 07-01-94 5:13p International version is located in the DBFCDX\INTL directory. DBFCDX.LIB 98749 07-01-94 5:14p 1. The locking for DBFCDX 3.00 has been changed from DBFCDX 2.00. The locking scheme now used is compatible with FOXPRO, FOXPRO for Windows, SIx 2 and the FOXPRO/ACCESS ODBC Windows driver. This new locking scheme provides for a wider base of compatibility and higher performance. There is no need to link CDXLOCK.OBJ anymore. 2. Structural indexes are now always located at the front of the order list. This change eliminates confusion as to the location of the structural index tags. Users using the recommended method of specifying orders via order names will not notice any difference. 3. Performance has been greatly increased and load size has been lowered. 4. Spurious GPF errors have been fixed. 5. Memo Support has been rewritten to improve reliability. 6. The RTLink Command STACK 0 must be added to base52.lnk for DBFCDX to be linked into a PLL file.
