IAC ReadDbase Project
---------------------

This directory ( iac_proj/rd_dbase/ ) contains all the V code, source code,
HTML documentation, and installation information for the IAC project
"ReadDbase".

The directory should be placed into your existing project directory, which
should already contain the IAC Project File structure, i.e., the iac_proj/,
iac_lib/ and v/ directories.

The file INSTALL contains information on how to edit the existing IAC
files: a single line addition to the iac_proj/iac_proj.v file, to add the
new project, and two additions to two of the iac_lib/ files (in this instance
data_io.v and example.v) to add a link to the Module library and the Example
Application from the top-level IAC library page.

Once the files have been correctly installed, the low-level modules of the new
project may be compiled. If you opt to leave the process unspecified, it will
by default use the "express" process. Doing so means the modules may be
compiled by using one of the following commands in the top-level directory of
your project (whilst AVS/Express is not running):

        base -comp_proc express -exit
or
        make -f express.mk

Using the 'make' command, requires that the express.mk file already exists,
and has been updated accordingly.

If you modify the project, and elect to specify the process as "user" or
another user-defined process, then the modules may be compiled without
having to exit the AVS/Express application. Use the following command in the
VCP to compile the modules:

        $compile IAC_PROJ.ReadDbase.ReadDbaseMods

Users of the Developer's Edition may select the module in the relevant 
Templates library, and choose 'compile' from the Project menu.


Files
-----

The following files can be found in the iac_proj/rd_dbase/ directory.

INSTALL        Contains installation instructions for editing the iac_proj.v,
               iac_lib.data_io.v and iac_lib/examples.v files. This file should
               not be edited as the future installation script will use this file.

rd_dbase.v     Creates the IAC_PROJ.ReadDbase library.

rddbmods.v     Creates the library containing the low-level modules ReadDBFDate, 
               ReadDBFFloat, ReadDBFInteger, ReadDBFLogical, ReadDBFString,
               ReadDBFType.

rddbmacs.v     Creates the library containing the Example Application ReadDbaseEg
               and the associated module comb_mesh_and_data.

               The C and C++ source code for the module:
