  Welcome To ID-DEMO, the demonstration version of Homegrown Data System's

            Increment/Decrement Functions for dBASE IV!


  These functions allow the dBASE IV programmer to increase or decrease

  the value of a memory or field variable of any valid dBASE type.  The

  functions contained in this archive are demonstration versions of the

  actual functions and will work  for only a limited time.  To read the

  documentation  open  and  print  the  file   MANUAL.DOC  (Word 6)  or

  MANUAL.RTF (Rich Text).



  These are the files contained in this archive:

  catalog.cat   - dBASE catalog of catalogs
  iddemo.cat    - dBASE catalog for this demonstration
  config.db     - dBASE configuration file
  decfield.dbo  - decrement function object file, demo version
  iddemo.dbo    - demonstration program object file
  incfield.dbo  - increment function object file, demo version
  manual.doc    - manual in Word 6 format
  iddemo.prg    - demonstration program source file
  manual.txt    - manual in TXT format (ugly)
  readme.txt    - this file

  I'd like to  add a quick note to this file, and I'll keep it short:
  these functions are among the most useful that I have ever written,
  and I  have been in the computer  business for  over 20 years.  The
  functions are capable  of incrementing or decrementing  ANY type of
  dBASE  memory variable.  They  are primarily intended for  use in a
  data entry/edit  environment.  Imagine  being able hit  a key while
  a field such as PART_NUM, or CURR_DATE has the focus and seeing the
  value increase.  You can save thousands of key strokes per day! And
  keystrokes saved means MONEY saved!
