fields_create	()

#  Purpose          :  This file provides an example of a call to the

#                      function fields_create()

#                      This function creates a new field.

#                      In this example a new database is opened and

#                      a field is created. The field is showed in

#                      the end.

#                      This file can be run by starting a session of
