Some of the new features that the new version will include are:

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Large object support.
No restrictions on string length or array size ( within memory restraints )

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Support for some Clipper syntax ( BIN2W, DBGOTO, DBAPPEND etc )

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Code Blocks

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) SCAN/ENDSCAN.

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Fully integrated browse.

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) No longer an external program, will now respect filters and indices.

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Create databases from arrays.

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Many more database functions (INSERT, BLANK, SCATTER, GATHER).

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Data Mirroring.

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Suffix control (ie. .dbf /dbt/dbb etc. can be redefined to anything).

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Index Tags (structured indices like in FoxPro).

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Windows (multiple text based windows under program control).

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Interrupts (timers, mouse clicks etc).

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Some ‘C’ like operation.

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) ++, -* type operations.

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) cformat functions (format output like PRINTF in C).

- add elements to and delete from an array

- resize an existing array

- clone an array to another array

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Allocate memory blocks ( ALLOC, PEEK, POKE, ADDR ).

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Shared memory.

ballc.jpg (3965 bytes) Static and Local variables.
