- db 2.5 Database with GadTool look
-
- db is a small and fast database program that I wrote after having tested
- numerous other PD database programs and always found something lacking or
- irritating me. They might have dozzens of features not found in db, but
- they lacked font sensitivity and a standard GUI look and OS 3.0 behaviour.
-
- My main need was to keep record on addresses and telephone numbers of
- friends and companies. Before v2.0 db was fixed to be just an address
- and telephone database, but that has changed. The program is designed
- to handle information of your choice. Currently you have to use a file
- editor to specify the database fields and layout as there is no GUI for
- that. Anyway that's a one time job, then you just USE the database and
- have fun.
-
- Complete GUI support will probably only be included in a commercial product
- I plan to call REG.
-
- A partial list of db's features include:
-
- o Dynamic memory handling. Number of records and fields only limited by
- free memory.
- o GadTool based. (Use fields of string, checkbox and cycle type)
- o Mouse and keyboard driven.
- o User definable fields and layout.
- o Multiple views of the same database.
- o Commodore's Clipboard for flexible interaction with other programs.
- o AppWindow -just drag and drop database icons on db to load.
- o Online MenuHelp -Press HELP key when selecting a menu item.
- o Font sensitivity.
- o ARexx
- o ASL requesters for flexible loads and saves.
- o Localized
- o Dial numbers using a modem or loudspeaker
- o WB and Shell usage with Commodore's template parsing
- o Fast and flexible find function using AmigaDOS patterns.
- o Filter function.
- o Fast and flexible sort function.
- Multiple sort orders can be specified.
- o 'Export View' and two standard ASCII export features.
- o Automatic ASCII import (tab-separated ASCII)
