Press Release

New version of component for accessing xBase tables from Delphi, Kylix and C++Builder

March 27, 2002 - Tiriss announced today version 1.60 of CB4 Tables, its Delphi, C++Builder and Kylix wrapper for using Sequiter's CodeBase Library instead of the BDE. The main differences with previous versions is the support for Kylix 2 (Linux) and C++Builder 6 and support for OEM-ANSI translations on Windows.

CB4 Tables is a set of components that can be used anywhere you want to access dBase IV, FoxPro or Clipper tables (using CodeBase), but don't want to use the BDE.

TCB4Table (the TTable replacement of CB4 Tables) has almost all functions a TTable has, and is developed to be completely compatible with TTable. CB4 Tables has also some extra functionality like smart recognition of expression tags and better scrollbar support for DBGrids.

The major advantages of CB4 Tables:

• No BDE install, but a DLL (Windows) or a shared object (Linux) sold by Sequiter software inc.
• Fast and proven CodeBase database engine.
• Compatible with the BDE, so it is easy to change ('find and replace') from using the BDE to using CB4 Tables. (And if required: it is also easy to change back).
• Compatible with all standard and third-party Database components. (TDataSet descendant)
• Support for Delphi 3 - 6, C++Builder 3 - 6 and Kylix 1 & 2.
• Extra functionality (not found in the BDE) like tag expression recognition.

Pricing and Availability: CB4 Tables 1.60 is available for US$ 60 including source code. (Pre v1.50 version owners can upgrade for US$ 16.) More information and trial versions can be found on the Tiriss website: www.tiriss.com .

The CodeBase library is available from Sequiter, see http://www.codebase.com for more information.
