Otis
https://github.com/hansmarc/Otis

Version 1.22 b01 (09/05/2021)

Otis stands for 'Open Table InSpector' and is a database table inspection tool for Dbase, Clipper, Harbour, xHarbour, FoxPro, ..., files.

Otis has a integrated DATASET manager. This need some explanations.

A DATASET is a set of ONE or MORE tables and index files. You can save this SET of files with a name and load it back again later on with only one click. You can anytime you want add or delete tables and index files to a existing dataset and save it again with the same or another name.

The dataset manager permits you to inspect tables when you are developing and testing a program without cycling through the classic operations like :

open table, open index file, inspect, modify, update, close
open another table, open index file, inspect, close
...etc.
Create simply a dataset with tables and index files that you want to inspect on a regular base, save it, and reload all tables and index files with only one click. I can assure you, you will save a lot of time and many mouse clicks.

I have used a much older version of DBU, modified for my specific application. I decided to look at the new one.

1) I tried to link in fivedbu.prg, but it wanted the SQL files ( and I don't use them ). So I tried adding them, but still it wanted the .rc file. I hesitated there because I have to then link in those resources and hardcode all the paths to the fwh resource ... so ...

2) I tried building the sample using Buildh32.bat and of course it won't run because it's a function ... so ...

3) I modified the FIVEdbu( ) to be MAIN () and it built, and tried to start. However it then ran into errors.

So, Antonio, would you please take the current distribution copy of FWH and build FiveDBU.prg and try running it. I actually hardcoded in the "invoices.dbf" file so it would be able to open it for testing. Please let me know if what is being distributed will build and run for you.

Thanks.
