-
- QuickPak Professional ($199) is a general purpose toolbox featuring more
- than 480 routines, 120 example programs, and an extensive manual. Included
- are routines for windowing, file and array searching and sorting, pull-down
- and scrollable menus, input routines, text editors with integrated mouse
- support, and mathematical functions. Also included are string and array
- manipulation, EMS/XMS data storage, very fast file I/O, pop-up utilities,
- file and directory browsing, a complex expression evaluator, and much more.
-
- Quick Screen ($149) designs any kind of text screen, including data-entry
- forms, help messages, and attractive logo screens. It supports 17 field
- types with full range validation, field calculations, and built-in mouse
- support. Save screens individually, or compress and combine them into one
- file to save space and memory. Screens may also be saved as object (.OBJ)
- files, and linked with your programs to avoid additional files at runtime.
- Many BASIC example programs are included, including an interface to AJS
- Publishing's popular db/LIB add-on library.
-
- Graphics QuickScreen ($149) is similar to QuickScreen (above), but it works
- in the EGA and VGA graphics mode. Besides the QuickScreen data types for
- field input, GQS also makes it easy to create sliders and pushbuttons that
- look just like those used by Windows programs.
-
- P.D.Q. ($149) lets you write programs in BASIC that are smaller and more
- efficient than any high-level language including C. It replaces the default
- BASIC link libraries, and also lets you easily create TSR programs and even
- real-time interrupt handlers. Real programs that perform useful tasks can be
- written in less than 2K! Examples include a TSR screen capture program,
- work-alike copies of Norton Utilities programs, a pop-up calculator, and
- dozens more. P.D.Q. won Byte Magazine's Users Choice Award for Language of
- the Year. P.D.Q. does not provide communications (see PDQComm below), and
- there are some restrictions on graphics and floating point math.
-
- PDQComm ($99) adds communications support to P.D.Q., and is also ideal for
- use with QuickBASIC and PDS. It offers many features not available in
- regular BASIC, such as XModem, YModem, and ASCII file transfers, windowed
- terminal emulations, 115.2k bps operation, parameter changes while the COM
- ports are open, and more. Numerous examples are included, and a complete
- tutorial explains modems and communications concepts.
-
- GraphPak Professional ($149) lets you add presentation quality 3-D graphs
- and charts to your programs. Many graph types are provided, including bar,
- pie, line, and hi-low-close financial charts. GraphPak also offers log and
- semi-log graphs, surface plots, scalable text, and accommodates all of the
- BASIC-supported video modes automatically. Graphs may be sized, and
- positioned anywhere on the screen.
-
- The Graphics Workshop ($149) is for EGA and VGA displays, and it features
- low-level graphics primitives that are much smaller and faster than those
- in BASIC. It also includes pulldown and vertical menus, input routines,
- and saving and loading images in the popular .PCX format. Other features
- include many video special effects, plus a unique subroutine for sending
- graphics screens to Epson/IBM dot matrix and LaserJet printers.
-
- QuickPak Scientific ($149) adds sophisticated numerical methods to your
- programs, and includes routines for solving linear algebra, differential
- equations, curve fitting, and complex numbers. Also included are routines
- for statistics, vectors, matrices, integration and differentiation, fast
- Fourier transforms, non-linear equations, and more.
-
- LaserPak ($149) lets you create laser printer graphics, design logos and
- custom hatching patterns, download and manage fonts, and control fully all
- aspects of a LaserJet or compatible printer. The routines in LaserPak are
- modeled after BASIC's graphics commands, it also includes primitives for
- drawing circles, boxes, lines with any line width, fill patterns, and more.
-
- Don Malin's XREF ($59) is a sophisticated cross-reference utility that can
- document an entire application. It lists all variables, arrays, constants,
- and procedures alphabetically by type and scope, even across separate source
- modules. A unique call-tree report identifies your procedures showing who
- calls what, which routines are present but never accessed, and more.
