hi All,

 

i was using old DN in DOS, then it stops developing I switched to FAR, then I saw there are DN clones, so i'm back with NDN.

 

I use DBF files a lot, and I miss possibility to Insert a record or Pack/Zap table. there is only Delete Record feature (CTRL+D). or the others are hidden somewhere?

what should pack do?

The database command pack removes deleted records.

 

you have 100 records. you delete 20 records with delete (CTRL+D).

but you still have 100 records, you can un-delete those 20 records.

 

but when you do Pack command in db systems, the deleted records are REMOVED, so you will have just 80 records left in dbf.

 

ok?
