Hi Serge,
CPD = Clarion Professional Developer
it's the early early DOS version of clarion, the utilities for the clarion (.DAT) file format were only shipped with CPD.
The last version of CPD was 2.1
with numbers like 2.110, my favorite was 2.18A
Note: If I'm not mistaken, between 2.19 and 2.210 Clarion (this was before Topspeed & SV) changed the Key Structure to a balanced B+Tree. However the keys are in seperate files Yada.K01, Yada.K02 etc... you can delete these files and most programs that use the .DAT will automatically rebuild the keys. Later versions of Clarion use the newer key structure.
Also note that MEMO's were held in a seperate file. Yada.MEM, so if you're archiving the data make sure you keep the .DAT AND the .MEM
To get the version number from one of the utilities, use a command line argument of !
for example:
C:\> CSRT !
The CLARION Sorter - Version 2.1 Release 2110
Note: the utilities were written before long filenames (LFN), they may fail when you try to run them in folders with LFN and are pretty much guaranteed to fail on basenames that don't match the 8.3 rules
Also I've seen CSRT them partially fail on NT, leaving the temporary file names present. So Yada.DAT is left as Yada.T01 (T Zero One)-- simply archive the original .DAT and rename the .T01 to .DAT (if a T01 already exists, then you'll get a .T02)
They were not shipped with later version of Clarion
CFD Clarion for Dos) (version 3)
CDDW Clarion Database Developer
-- early Clarion for Windows
-- versions 1.0 and 1.5
CW Clarion for Windows
-- versions 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3
I'd have to double check with SoftVelocity, but I'd like to believe that it would be ok to post the CPD Clarion file format utilities.
HTH,
