Sections of this Manual

This manual is divided into several major sections, relating to the different approaches to developing a product using c-tree Plus. The sections are:

  • Basic c-tree (Chapters 2-9): This section describes the basic c-tree Plus functions, both low level and ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method), and how they are used in an application. Several sample programs (provided on disk as well) also illustrate the concepts. Multi user concepts are introduced here too. The information provided applies to all modes of c-tree Plus.
  • Non-Server Multi-User (Chapter 10): This section applies if you are going to create a multi user application not using a c-tree Server. It provides details about multi user access without using the c-tree Server.
  • c-tree Server (Chapters 11-17): When using the c-tree Server, study the material in this section after mastering basic c-tree Plus concepts. The advanced c-tree Plus functionality used only by the c-tree Server, such as file security and file encryption, is described in this section as well.
  • c-tree Plus Single User/c-tree Server (Chapter 18): This section describes two powerful features available in the single-user and client/server modes, transaction processing and file mirroring.
  • c-tree Plus/c-tree Server (Chapters 19-20): These chapters document the Unicode support and c-tree Server SDK capabilities.

A companion manual, the c-tree Plus Function Reference Guide, contains descriptions of each c-tree Plus function.
