   Third Party Products

   Clipper has always had a lively aftermarket of third party products. 
   If you have a need, chances are there's a third party product to 
   satisfy it. FAST TEXT SEARCH for Clipper works with all of the popular 
   add-on products. We encourage you, however, to contact us if you 
   experience any difficulties.

        FLEXFILE / dBxStore

   Because one of the most popular uses of CFTS is to search the contents 
   of memo (.DBT) fields, its use with memo field replacement systems is 
   extremely powerful. These systems are easy to use and not only remove 
   some of the problems native to the .DBT file format, but add a wide 
   variety of new features.
   
   FLEXFILE, from Ganahl Software, Inc., is a complete memo file 
   replacement system. It uses standard memo field and command syntax. 
   The new FLEXFILE II also comes as an RDD. dBxStore, distributed by 
   HalloGRAM Publishing, is another memo field alternative that works 
   very well with CFTS. It eliminates the file bloat problems associated 
   with regular memo fields. dBxStore is written in assembler for faster 
   reads, writes and compression.

        iQuery / SubNtx()

   Moon Microsystems has two products that work well with CFTS. iQuery 
   manipulates index separately from database files. It offers fast 
   creation and resorting of conditional indexes. SubNtx() creates 
   conditional indexes by reading from an existing index. It allows match 
   by range, wildcard or a Clipper UDF. These systems can be used to 
   create a Clipper index containing only those records that result from 
   a FTS search. This provides a very functional method for accessing the 
   original records.
