FiveDB? somewhat disturbing

I found this statement in a FWINTRO.PDF file written by James Bott.

FiveWin comes with a simple database class, but, in order to develop multi-user applications you will either need to purchase a separate database class (FiveDB) or you will need to write your own. The FiveWin TDATABASE class is a good start, but it doesn't provide any file/record busy messages or automatic retry capabilities which are essential for multi-user applications.

Do I need FiveDB too?

Ollie,

Thats an outdated info. Class TDataBase is finished and complete and can be safely used, in fact it is used by many FWH users.

Phew. Thanks.

I thirst for documentation / examples.

Where can I find examples using the TDatabase class etc.

I got a lot of info from DBF01.PRG - but it wasn't enough.

I don't want to have to bug you guys all the time.
