Someone said I could access FoxPro-type indices.  What is the
 difference between FoxPro indices and CA-Clipper indices?  What
 gain can I get from doing that, and how?

 First off, there are several advantages to using a FoxPro-like
 index scheme.

 The nice thing about .CDX files is that they can contain more
 than one "tag," each of which relates to a key value.  Therefore
 you can drop all your many CA-Clipper .NTX files by converting each
 to a "tag" within a single .CDX file.  This also lets you always
 open a file with USE <file> INDEX <file> with assurance that you
 got all the tags.

 Replaceable Database Drivers which I know to support FoxPro-like
 files are:

  * The SIx Driver by Successware
  * Comix
  * DBFCDX driver already included in CA-Clipper 5.2c

 SIx does not give you Rushmore lookups, but it is shipped with an
 add-in called MACH which does.

 For more information, send email to Loren Scott of Successware at
 70274,2677 on Compuserve.

 If want traditional CA-Clipper .NTX index files, but also want
 a "Rushmore" sort of feature, there is a library called ClipMore
 which claims to accomplish this.  ClipMore costs US $150 and is
 published by Loadstone, Inc./215 Barmount Drive/Columbia, South
 Carolina 29210 USA.  Loadstone's telephone number is +1 803 731
