Xbase++ compiler
    All development libraries below require that you have an Xbase++ compiler installed. If you do not have the Xbase++ compiler, you can download free of charge, a 30-day trial version directly from Alaska Software.

    Xbase++ is a very stable advanced 32-bit multithreaded compiler for Windows. It provides legacy support for older Clipper applications as well as allowing developers to easily create very complex client and modern server type applications.

    SQLExpress - ODBC/SQL Library for Xbase++
    SQLExpress is an object-oriented library for Xbase++ that provides seamless connectivity to a variety of relational and non-relational database management systems using ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). ODBC defines a vendor-independent API for accessing data stored in RDBMS and ISAM databases using Structured Query Language (SQL) as a standard for accessing data.

    ACE Wrappers - Advantage Database Library for Xbase++
    This Library provides a native interface to the ACE32.DLL (Advantage Client Engine) from Extended Systems. By simply modifying the ADS.INI file, the Advantage Client Engine will allow you to connect to either the Advantage Local Server (ALS) or the Advantage Database Server (ADS). When connected to ADS, your app will be running in true client/server mode. Both the ALS and ADS are mature products that will provide your Xbase++ app with great performance and reliability.

    Although not a true DBE like the Alaska Software ADSDBE, this library performs its magic by using the very powerful Xbase++ preprocessor to translate certain Xbase++ commands and functions to specific ACE Wrapper functions. Although this library is written entirely in Xbase++, it is just as fast and in some cases even faster, than Alaska's ADSDBE. No additional DBE's are needed when using the ACE Wrappers.

    NOTE: The ACE Wrappers source code is provided free of charge as a special bonus for registering SQLExpress. A free, fully functional ACE Wrapper DLL (without source code) is also provided with the demo version of SQLExpress. You are free to use and distribute this DLL with your applications.
