154.0. "Focus -> Language/OPS" by THRILL::WILS (Joris Wils) Tue Nov 15 1988 09:51

    I am presently writing a small procedure to read in any focus standard
    database and then to pass in on to OPS5. However I can imagine someone
    has written something like this to pass the database to BASIC.
    
    In this way all you have to do is redefine the datastructures in
    OPS to read in a new database. 
    
    Anyone done this?

    Have you check all the FOCUS -> Language interfaces that come with
    the FOCUS installment package ? Just do a "SET DEF FOC$LIB1" and
    do a dir, there are a lot of packages, just pick a language, "C",
    Pascal, or FORTRAN, include, and away you go.
    
    Those files are developed for the purpose of interfacing a programming
    language to a FOCUS database.

    Yes, but, most sites aren't licensed for HLI.  Urge the contract
    negotiators (via PHAZER::BARNES) to purchase the license.
