Version  7.13 of DOWNLOAD is available from:
ftp.cedarville.edu



Is this freeware?


From the PDF manual:  "This software was written at Cedarville University by 
Doug Sjoquist and modified by Dave Rotman. You may freely distribute this 
software, but this software is not to be sold

by itself nor as part of any other software package."

We've been using it for years... it's wonderful.  Particularly the XML 
output, which was way ahead of UniData's native abilities last time I 
compared the two.  (UD may have caught up by now... but given the choice I'd 
still use DOWNLOAD.)

[U2] DOWNLOAD 7.13 is available

2005-09-21 Thread David L. Rotman 
Version 7.13 of DOWNLOAD is available from:
ftp.cedarville.edu 

Here are the changes compared to version 7.12:
*   Add @COUNTER (running counter) as a pre-defined AT variable
*   Bug fix (DEFAULT SUBVALUE.SEPARATOR did not work)
*   Bug fix (Using @RECORD required TYPE to be in DICT.DICT).
*   Bug fix (for XML output, a null value in an association caused
*  the rest of the data values to "slide up")
*   Bug fix (output file specified in VOC via @HOME did not work)
*   Bug fix (EVAL expression with embedded quotation marks did not work)

The @COUNTER variable provides an easy way to sequence
the output records.  For example, 
   SELECT CUSTOMERS SAMPLE 4 BY ORDER.TOTAL
   DOWNLOAD CUSTOMERS \
@COUNTER @ID CUSTNAME CUSTZIP ORDER.TOTAL
would produce output like this:
   "1","3048","Acme Pest Control","40867",508.76
   "2","1324","Zoom Accessories","90911",1356.80
   "3","2928","Kontainer Cats","12087",2389.15
   "4","5298","Ben Jewelers","60611",5087.12
The sequence number is handy when performing analysis
in Excel in case you want to restore the file to its original order.

I would encourage people who use DOWNLOAD to join the DOWNLOAD
list-serv.  The list is low-volume, so you won't get bombarded with lots of
mail.  To join, send a message to:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
with a subject line of "subscribe" (without the quotes).


For those folks not familiar with DOWNLOAD...
DOWNLOAD is a utility program which produces output files in
CSV, tab-delimited, WordPerfect, HTML, XML, dBASE, or DIF formats.
DOWNLOAD is easy to use, because it uses syntax like 
the LIST statement.  The reference manual on our ftp site
will give you more details.
