I was looking for something like that... but the link is not working.
Can you please check it?

Thank you for creating the editor. I was wondering if you might consider
using the open source repository similar to BerliOS. Like you it is in
Europe and has a good reputation.

Does not work for me? When you choose dbf, stop working without warning.

It worked for me... I liked it very much. Nice and simple.
I found some little problems here or there but at least it recognizes new datatypes like auto increment | + | and has a nice design (easy to understand).
I would even recommend it to be a portable (don’t know if it is possible) “official” Harbour DBU replacement with fixes for what is not working well yet.
One thing I noticed from the first start it needs to have a SETMODE( 25,80 ) in the beginning (could be configurable maybe with an .INI file?) Also the scroll bar of the browser is not really working according to the row positions on the database. I didn’t check the code – just noticed that.
What do you all think?
Regards,
Thank you for your work on the dbf editor. It is good to have a portable
version. I have one question about which character set you are using for
the source files?
I remember the DU utility and a similar dbf editor. I recall two or three
other dbf editors from that time. I'll take a look on my OS/2 Warp 4
development system which still runs well. I used it to make real money
doing Clipper applications.
OS/2 Warp is still being supported through eComStation.com. Here's
the Wikipedia
article <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EComStation>. It was licensed by IBM
to continue to sell a specialized version of OS/2 Warp 4 with great number
of changes to support recent hardware.
OS/2 from 2.1 onward had really good virtual DOS console windows. Also you
could also boot MS-DOS or IBM PC DOS for which you could create a boot
diskette. It was possible to setup DOS VMs guests with 720k of memory and
allocate hardware to that VM. Very slick.
In some ways the Workplace desktop remains ahead of Windows desktop and
UNIX/LINUX X-Windows in concept. Too bad this was never made available as
open source.
Avira found TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen in bin\win\mingw\dbedit.exe. Probably this is false detection, because of only one of 43 antiviruses detected trojan in this file.
This is not good. Maybe it was infected locally on the installed system.
Protocol however dictates you must scan your own computer
using different scanning tools. This could be some lost time but very
valuable measure to take.
I have scanned your files but not found anything yet. I have some scans
yet to be completed.

this detail is not visible on the screenshot I sent before, is it? This means you could reproduce the warning by Avira. Is this correct?
@Jon: Thank you for the hint. I am currently scanning my entire intra-net. As of now: no virus. But it will still take some hours. @Pavel: maybe you should scan your system as well
Sorry for insisting but I hate those suckers (viruses et. al). I totally agree with John if at the end it is a false positive we wasted some time but we can be sure there is no virus in the forum, which I think is very important.
Description: A generic detection routine designed to detect common family characteristics shared in several variants.
This special detection routine was developed in order to detect unknown variants and will be enhanced continuously.
Perhaps a piece of pcode in the dbedit.exe antivirus interpreted as a unknown trojan. If in the dbedit.prg commented out lines 690-846 in the function main(), rebuild dbedit.exe (I use mingw tdm 4.6), then the resulting dbedit.exe tested avira online https://www.virustotal.com/ It's assumed that this fragment of the pcode dbedit.exe, build a harbour compiler, gives a positive reaction on the signature of a trojan. Previous version dbedit, I gave a month ago, is being tested. Compiled now old dbedit also being tested. During this time, I changed the code in the function main, which is not being tested by avira.

Maybe you should simply distribute source code and let everyone build them for themselves using platform and C compiler of choice, with supplied .hbp. It could avoid such debate altogether.
