# XBase::Memo(3pm)

Generic support for various memo formats

## NAME

XBase::Memo - Generic support for various memo formats

## SYNOPSIS

Used indirectly, via XBase. Users should check its man page.

## DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class are created to deal with memo files, currently .dbt, .fpt and .smt (code for this provided by Dirk Tostmann). Package XBase::Memo defines methods **read\_header** to parse that header of the file and set object's structures, **write\_record** and **last\_record** to write the records properly formatted and find the end of file.

There are four separate subpackages in XBase::Memo, dBaseIII, dBaseIV, Fox and Apollo. Memo objects are effectively of one of these types and they override their specific record handling routines where appropriate.
