Running With Text Files

When using text files as a database, do not expect all the functionality that can be obtained from a database manager.

Like other data sources, text files require a data socket. The most popular is Microsoft's which is in the ODBC driver list on the connection setup screen. However, others can be used.

A CDO text driver is being constructed because the big companies do not want to give us real access to data. It has been moved ahead of some other projects simply because IBM, Microsoft, and others are becoming competitive with CoreReader.
