This is the readme file of VDFQUERY ver. 1.3b2 for VDF 5.x / VDF 6


The packages in the VdfQuery upload available from the FTP site of Data Access were programmed by me and are to be considered 'public domain' and may be distributed freely as is or as part of a product including these files with no further permission than this statement.

The vdfq13b2.zip file contains all packages needed for integrating a query tool into your VDF applications. Documentation is available in a Word document also found in the zip file.
