I have this utility, DBU.EXE from way back when (inc source), and I still use it for examining tables if .ntx indexes are being used.
However the program is liable to crash (not through the Clipper error handler, sadly), if there are more than a certain number (perhaps 4K) of tables in the current folder. I suppose it is possible that these names are being read into an array with a 4K limit. This happens even if these tables are not of interest to the current enquiry. (The problem arises because I keep old sales invoices as .dbf files and have failed to develop a scheme for archiving them automatically)
Does anyone have a corrected version which avoids the problem? I suppose that I could trawl through the source code and correct it, but if someone has been that way before, I would be grateful for an amended version.
Thanks.
