MetaKit sample code - Demo
MetaKit sample code - DemoThis example is more a "proof of concept" than anything else...
What it does: Demo creates a simple view on disk, makes a few changes to the data as well as the structure, and then saves these too.
What it illustrates: This sample program shows how to set up a simple program which uses MetaKit. The source code of this application can be compiled for 32-bit Windows (as console application) as well as for 16-bit small-model DOS targets. When run more than once, i.e. with an existing datafile, this program will cause some changes to the data which illustrate the effects of "on-the-fly data restrcuturing". Demo has little practical use, other than to show you how to get started with MetaKit.
How to use it: When you launch the 16-bit DOS version called DEMO16.EXE, it creates a datafile called "myfile.dat", saves some data to it, and then reopens it and displays the line:
The country of Paco Pena is: SpainBy following the code, you can see where this came from. You can use the MetaKit dump utility (see below) to examine the contents of the data file.
Known problems: None.
