Re: Indexed File System

Cheetah also provides an indexed file system. I have two example programs posted on this forum. Remember-It and DBMS, both in the Showcase section. But I too would be pleased to see an SQL example, CryptoMan.
Would love to see the indexed file system that is in BBC BASIC added to LBB.
BBC BASIC doesn't have any built-in "indexed file system" capability; it doesn't even have the functionality of Liberty BASIC's put and get statements! There's certainly nothing that BBC BASIC's file-handling capabilities can do that LBB's cannot do (indeed I had to enhance BBC BASIC for Windows in order to support LBB in this regard).
The only "indexed file system" that I can guess you may be referring to is an example program (it must have been written in the 1980s) listed in the BBC BASIC help manual. That uses two files - an index file and a data file - to implement a simple random-access database. But it's just a regular BASIC program, and one that could be straightforwardly translated to Liberty BASIC.
