[GENERAL] Querying the field types of a table

[Dale Anderson]

Is there a way to query the field names and types of a table in either 6.5 or 7.0??  I 
am writing an application, and in one piece, I need to get the field names and field 
types of any table.  Can this be done???  I have searched both the web and 
documentation, and I can't seem to find a C function or system table that has this 
information.

Thanks in advance,
Dale.
